Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi's disappearance has sparked international attention and put his homeland on the defensive. Trump has warned of a "severe punishment" if the Saudis are found to be behind the incident. Britain, France and Germany also said they are demanding a "credible investigation." However, the Arab world has the opposing view as six Arabian countries have put out statements to express solidarity with the Sunni Kingdom. The Palestinian Authority has also voiced its support.
