Kuwait recalls its ambassador from Lebanon as ministers hold a crisis meeting in Beirut to discuss a deepening diplomatic rift with Saudi Arabia
The Saudi decision to ban imports from Lebanon comes as the nation is in dire need of foreign currency amid its worst economic crisis.
The meeting comes amid a row over critical comments made by Lebanese Information Minister George Kordahi about the Saudi-led military intervention in Yemen that has thrown the government into a new crisis. Hours later, the Kingdom of Bahrain ordered the Lebanese ambassador to leave the country within two days for the same reason, Bahrain's foreign ministry said.
The Arab League said in a statement on Saturday it was concerned about the souring of Lebanese-Gulf relations and appealed to Gulf countries "to reflect on the measures proposed to be taken...in order to avoid further negative effects on the collapsing Lebanese economy".
