Tony Blinken Has Fumbled ‘Khashoggi Ban’ Sanctions
Antony Blinken fears cutting ties with the crown prince because the king’s dementia renders him unfit for the rigors of rule. Prince Mohammed bin Salman may be odious, but Saudi Arabia has no other ruler.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced a new visa policy named for murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi against the backdrop of the Biden administration’s declassification of a report fingering Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the murder of the dissident journalist. Known as The Khashoggi Ban, it “allows the State Department to impose visa restrictions on individuals who, acting on behalf of a foreign government, are believed to have been directly engaged in serious, extraterritorial counter-dissident activities, including those that suppress, harass, surveil, threaten, or harm journalists, activists, or other persons perceived to be dissidents,” he explained on Feb. 26, 2020.
