In today's speech, the king outlined the priorities of the kingdom next year, focusing on issues such as Yemen's war, Palestinian security, stability in the oil market, opposition to the opposition in Iran and job creation for Saudis, the AP reports.
The king did not mention the charges that Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the killing of Khashoggi but that his son had advised him to focus on developing the skills of Saudi youth.
The CIA came to a conclusion that Prince Mohammed ordered Khahoggi's murder on 2 October at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul, while Riyadi officially denies it.
