Kuwait summons ambassador to Lebanon in recent rift with Gulf states

KUWAIT: Kuwait summoned its ambassador to Lebanon for consultations, its foreign ministry said Saturday, as tensions over Lebanon’s Information Minister’s comments on the war in Yemen intensify.

Kuwait said the decision came in response to the persistence of negative statements coming from Lebanese officials and called on Lebanon’s ambassador to leave the country within 24 hours.

Kuwait’s decision followed similar actions from Saudi Arabia and Bahrain in response to comments by Information Minister George Kordahi.
