Rashid Khalidi on the US Backing of Brutal Saudi Régime & the Disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi

It’s been more than a week since Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi disappeared after entering the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul last Tuesday, sparking international concern. Now, a Turkish official has told the New York Times that Khashoggi was assassinated inside the consulate by a team of 15 Saudi operatives who used a bone saw to dismember his body before smuggling body parts out of the building. We speak with Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said professor of Arab Studies at Columbia University. He is the author of several books, including “Brokers of Deceit: How the U.S. Has Undermined Peace in the Middle East.”
