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.
