Saudi Crown Prince’s International Scrutiny Diminishes Amid Khashoggi Case

The international scrutiny of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman regarding the killing of Jamal Khashoggi has reportedly diminished, with global attention shifting to other pressing geopolitical issues. The 2018 incident, in which Khashoggi, a Saudi journalist and critic of the government, was brutally murdered inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul, sparked widespread condemnation and calls for accountability. Despite the controversy, recent indicators suggest that the global spotlight on the case has lessened, potentially enabling the Saudi leadership to refocus on broader regional and economic objectives.
