Amine strand

In the file of the Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, the files of politics, security and foreign relations overlap and coincide coincidences and predestinations to recall another incident that dug itself into the memory of American and global pain.

Khashoggi became the most famous Saudi journalist and one of the most famous journalists in the world, and his life and his mysterious disappearance, if not his death, much Medad, his pen or the pens of the world today.

Numbers and days
It was ironic that the enforced disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi on Tuesday was reminiscent of the September 11, 2001 black September, when 19 al-Qaeda members, including 15 Saudis, moved to hit critical US positions in New York and Washington.

The Turkish version of Khashoggi's case reports that a team of 15 Saudis also arrived in Istanbul independently of two private planes, the one who tortured and killed Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate.

Despite the time difference between the two incidents, which is at least 17 years, and the spatial difference between the sites of the two incidents, there are other major differences, including that Saudi Arabia as a state in both cases rejected responsibility for what happened, and denied any link to the reality, but indicators of relevance and relationship varied between the two cases.

While the accusation of responsibility for the events of September 11 was confined to Western and American media and political circles in particular, which did not have much friendliness, and sought to involve them in a security and intellectual manner with some of the perpetrators of the attacks, it differed at the level of the consulate incident in Istanbul.

Although it is not possible to determine definitively the responsibility for concealing and possibly killing Khashoggi before the results of the ongoing investigations, the leaks transmitted by the Turkish authorities and the available data and evidence indicate that the man did not leave the consulate of Saudi Arabia since he entered on the second day of this month.

While the two incidents of significant differences and differences in the implementation of the implementation and targeting and temporal and spatial contexts and the repercussions and results has been noticeable overlap some points of convergence between the two incidents, including:

This man represents a memory full of secrets and secrets of the Saudi state and the relations between its various constituencies (the island)

- The two incidents agreed on Tuesday and the number of implementation elements. 15 The story of the two planes, or the three in the case of the September attacks, also provoked a great deal of tension in both cases, but the main point of convergence was the bad impact of the two incidents on the external image of Saudi Arabia.

The picture is distorted
The attacks of September 11 did not end until the voices of mobilization and mobilization against Saudi Arabia began, and the various media engaged in these provocative campaigns against them. These media campaigns led to dozens of cases being filed against them in American courts.

In a dramatic move, the US Congress on September 28, 2016 overwhelmingly approved the Justa Act, which allows families of victims of the September 11 attacks and others to sue state sponsors of terrorism before US courts. Many observers say it targets Saudi Arabia specifically.

The image of Saudi Arabia is recovering after years of attempts by US and Western circles to link it to terrorism and to hold it responsible for the September attacks on the grounds that there were links between some of the perpetrators of the September attacks and individuals associated with the Saudi government until the issue of disappearance or murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed again to name the table. .

In the face of punishment
Just as Saudi Arabia paid a nation and society a big price in the years following the September 11 attacks, it is about to start paying again a huge bill. No one knows its size and size under Western calls for maximum punishment if Khashoggi is found guilty.

Saudi-US relations have developed in the last two years after Saudi Arabia managed to link a close relationship with US President Donald Trump, his brother-in-law and adviser Jared Kouchner, according to observers. But the gains are now in the eye of the storm after Khashoggi's crisis.

Trump has stepped up his rhetoric in recent days and has been harshly sanctioned against Riyadh if it proves to be behind Khashoggi's disappearance, asserting that this would greatly anger Washington, a statement no one expected from Trump to Saudi Arabia at least two weeks ago.

In exchange for Trump's real or artificial anger, a number of members of the US Congress have stepped up pressure on his administration to take severe action against Riyadh to reveal Khashoggi's fate.

Perhaps this picture of Khashoggi entering his consulate in Istanbul is the last picture the world knows of (the Turkish press)

Whether the anger of US lawmakers needed fresh oil to ignite its fiery fire, the US media stepped up coverage and launched a media campaign to pressure US officials to take decisive action against the Saudi authorities.

Millions
The British writer David Harst says that the winds of Khashoggi's case will haunt millions of dollars spent by Ben Salman to improve his image in the West and make him acceptable as a key ally of the United States and forces opposed to political Islam.

The newspaper said the Washington Post repeatedly asked why Saudi Arabia to get rid of the writer of a weapon only his pen and courage, and confirmed that if the man was killed inside the Saudi consulate, his killing will shed new light and disturbing the Saudi regime and his de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Comprehensive assessment of US-Saudi relations.

The Washington Post has no reason to get rid of it, except that it may pose a danger to the Saudi regime. Fakhashoggi is not by the name of the unknown in the power circles in Riyadh. In this case, the man has many secrets and details of the Saudi state and its relations and the circles of its different and perhaps conflicting forces. Makes him a prime target for Salman's regime and his son, who is not used to tolerating his critics.

The blood of Khashoggi and the isolation of Ben Salman
Many Western media analyzes confirm that Khashoggi's disappeared or quick demise at his consulate in Istanbul will add a painful picture of what his close associates call the new reformist Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Khashoggi's disappearance or killing caused widespread anger against Saudi Arabia (Anatolia)

The New York Times columnist Nicholas Christophe called on the Al-Saud family to remove Crown Prince Salman bin Salman and appoint another crown prince. He called on NATO countries to withdraw their ambassadors from Saudi Arabia and Western companies to boycott the Davos Desert Investment Conference on the second of the month. Next.

Christoph also called for an international investigation into the disappearance of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi under UN supervision, saying the right place for the Saudi crown prince was to jail in solitary confinement.

He noted that the nauseating aspect of the reports on the disappearance of Khashoggi is growing steadily, and it seems that bin Salman is the one who oversaw the assassination and dismemberment.

It is not only Bin Salman's image that is affected by Khashoggi's blood. The hopes of the economic recovery promised by Mohammed bin Salman in the face of other winds, with the Saudi stock market losing its gains in a year, and the announcement by media and economic figures of its withdrawal with the Conference on the Future of Investment in Saudi Arabia, Dollars - spent by Saudi Arabia - in the trash, and setting the future of investment on the brink of shelving outstanding questions on the issue of Khashoggi.

With the disappearance or killing of Khashoggi, Saudi time is entering a new turning point. The winds of the "disappeared" journalist come on the banks of the Bosphorus, unlike the ships of Bin Salman, who have been cruising for two years in waves approaching the now angry West.
