Recently a high profile Dissenter of the Saudi Arabian government has gone missing in Istanbul, and Turkish investigators are claiming he was murdered by Hit squad working for the Saudi government. These accusations are based on security camera footage of Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post writer in question, entering the Saudi Consulate building in Istanbul and never leaving; along with accounts from Turkish informants within the building. Turkish President Erdogan was, "saddened" by Khashoggi's disappearance, since the investigation has not yet concluded Erdogan has yet to take any action towards Saudia Arabia, seemingly to hold off on escalating the situation into a bigger international incident. On the other side, the Saudi government has flatly denied any involvement in the disappearance. If it turns out the Saudi government is responsible for this, this could have lasting effects on the Saudi-Turkey relationship and Saudi Arabia's relationship with the International community at large.
