Saudi Minister of State Adel al-Jubeir, who was demoted from foreign affairs minister amid international outrage over the November 2018 Khashoggi allegations of murder, touted the Middle East kingdom's attractiveness to foreign business as proof officials did not order the killing.
A senior Saudi Arabian government official scoffed at the"ridiculous," but widely corroborated, accusation that journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered at the behest of top Saudi state agents.
Speaking with Deutsche Welle at the Munich Security Conference, Jubeir said the United Kingdom, France and other Western governments critical of Saudi Arabia's human rights records"need to be more educated." But Jubeir pushed back against the U.N. report, saying Callamard"relied on sources from the newspapers and on leaks to the media" he claimed were biased."Look at her record when it comes to Saudi Arabia for a number of years and how disparaging and how negative she has been against Saudi Arabia."last month that Saudi royalty has been"encouraged to do whatever it wants" because it didn't face consequences.
