First, Fareed gives his Take on the death of Jamal Khashoggi – what it says about Saudi Arabia, and also what it says about US foreign policy.
The "larger issue for Washington is that America's foreign policy should not be based on personalities. Donald Trump's worldview seems utterly rooted in his likes and dislikes of other leaders – from Kim Jong Un to Angela Merkel to MBS. In the Middle East, this has led to the blind subcontracting of American foreign policy to Saudi Arabia. Washington has watched and de facto endorsed the kingdom as it ramped up its bloody war in Yemen, blockaded Qatar, quarreled with Turkey, and essentially kidnapped the prime minister of Lebanon. All these moves have, in large measure, failed."
Next, Fareed hosts a live panel to discuss US-Saudi ties in the wake of this week's developments. Joining Fareed will be Martin Indyk, a distinguished fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, a former US ambassador to Israel, and author of Innocent Abroad: An Intimate Account of American Peace Diplomacy in the Middle East, Wendy Sherman, senior counselor at Albright Stonebridge Group, former Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, and author of Not For the Faint of Heart: Lessons in Courage, Power, and Persistence, and Fawaz Gerges, Professor of International Relations at the London School of Economic and author of Making the Arab World: Nasser, Qutb, and the Clash That Shaped the Middle East.
Also: Fareed is joined by Fred Hiatt editorial page editor at The Washington Post, the newspaper at which Jamal Khashoggi was a columnist. On Wednesday the Post published Khashoggi's final article for the paper, "What the Arab world needs most is free expression."
Plus: Fareed speaks with Jonathan Weiler, Professor of Global Studies at UNC Chapel Hill. He and Marc Hetherington have published "Prius or Pickup?: How the Answers to Four Simple Questions Explain America's Great Divide."
