Saudi Purge, Lebanon Power Struggle Add To Middle East Turmoil (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

It’s been a wild set of days for Saudi Arabia and Lebanon. A Saudi crown prince, cracking down. Purging princes right and left. Seizing cash. Locking up billionaires. Lebanon’s prime minister, telling his country from Saudi Arabia that he’s resigning. That he fears for his safety. Looking like a hostage. Then coming on TV to say maybe he won’t resign. Missiles, flying. Hezbollah, Iran, Saudis circling. Jared Kushner in town. This hour, On Point: A purge of princes, and what is going on in the Middle East. --Tom Ashbrook
