“I think this makes it much for difficult for [Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman] to sustain his singular focus on Iran because the actions he is condemning there, he himself is perpetrating.”

“Turkey and Saudi Arabia now see each other as leaders on opposite sides of a grand Middle Eastern debate about stability versus populism… I don’t think Turkey is going to drop this [focus on Khashoggi’s murder].”

“[TV] channels [in Turkey] are in lockstep. This would be the equivalent of being in a country in which you had seven MSNBCs or seven Fox televisions, where you had news that was clearly supportive of the government on all the channels.”

“It is one of the hallmarks of this administration that they do not like to make any public criticism of their Arab authoritarian partners, and it seems Saudi Arabia is one of the most favored.”

“He is trying to lay the groundwork for strong relations with the United States for what he hopes will be decades as king of Saudi Arabia. He wants to establish relationships with companies and investors and build confidence.”
