Israel needs ‘harder advice’ from the US, says Saudi ambassador to Britain


Listen Later

Few countries have as much influence inside and outside the Middle East as Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom is an increasingly important power broker in the region, but can it help end the bloodshed and temper Iran’s ambitions? 

Host Anne McElvoy talks to Prince Khalid bin Bandar Al Saud, the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the U.K. who, as a member of the House of Saud, has the ear of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. What does he make of the U.S. threat to withhold military aid to Israel if it doesn’t allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza? What are the consequences for the region if Israel doesn’t comply? Six years on since the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Anne presses the ambassador on what happened and how it has affected the Kingdom’s reputation abroad.
