Explosive new allegations about the Saudi crown prince have been met with the usual silence from western governments, who will turn a blind eye for the sake of normalization with Tel Aviv.

A former top Saudi intelligence official, Saad al-Jabri, accused MbS of forging his father King Salman’s signature to deploy ground troops to Yemen in 2015, and accused him of conspiring to murder former King Abdullah to make way for his father’s reign. These explosive claims were featured in the BBC documentary The Kingdom: The World’s Most Powerful Prince, prompting a renewed wave of scrutiny regarding MbS’s controversial actions during his rise to power.

    Last year I saw an interview of MBS by Fox News on youtube. As this combination surprised me I decided to watch it. MBS answered clevery but something felt set up.

    It was not until recently that I realized American media is whitewashing Saudi Arabia so they normalize with Israel.
