A reminder: #Assassination of #JamalKhashoggi

On 2 October 2018, Jamal Khashoggi, a #Saudi #dissident #journalist, was #killed by agents of the Saudi government at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey.

Khashoggi was #ambushed & #strangled by a 15-member squad of Saudi operatives.

His body was dismembered & disposed of in some way that was never publicly revealed.

In the #UAE & #Kuwait, they can work up to 12 hours a day, while in #Saudi Arabia & #Qatar, the limit is 10 hours. In #Bahrain and #Oman, there are no limits at all.

Instead of relief, #domesticworkers experience heightened workloads, making an already difficult job even more gruelling.

“Cairo summit: US-Israeli rejection of the Arab Gaza plan is a moment of truth”

by Soumaya Ghannoushi in Middle East Eye

“The message to Arab regimes is stark: their efforts to craft a postwar scenario are, at best, irrelevant, and at worst, a nuisance to be brushed aside”

“Some people close to Trump’s White House have been taken aback by the scale of security that has surrounded Musk since he became a regular presence in Trump’s orbit last year. The detail rivaled only that of the president himself, the sources observed.”

No surprise the #GCC ( #SaudiArabia, #UAE, #Oman, #Qatar, #Bahrain & #Kuwait) + #China and #Russia (GCC henchman #Putin & #Xi), are overdoing mercenaries to protect their largest investment, their top #Saudi henchman.
