In 2015, the Saudi-led multinational coalition began military operations against Yemen's Houthi armed forces in support of the government of Yemeni President Hadi, and Gulf states including Bahrain, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates are all participants in the multinational coalition.
Lebanese Information Minister George Kurdashi said in an interview on a program broadcast on the evening of the 26th local time that the saudi-led multinational coalition in Yemen is "absurd", he also accused Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and other countries of "attacking the Yemeni people" in the war, and said that the Houthis in Yemen are waging a "self-defense war". After the program aired, The Secretary-General of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf, Mr. Nayef, issued a statement opposing Kurdash's remarks, saying that his remarks "reversed the facts and favored the Houthis." After the incident, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain successively announced the recall of their ambassadors to Lebanon and demanded that the Lebanese ambassador to the local area leave the country within a time limit.
In this regard, Kurdash told the outside world on the 27th that the remarks in the interview were not intended to criticize saudi arabia and the United Arab Emirates and other countries. The Government of Lebanon has repeatedly stressed that Kurdashi's remarks do not represent the official Lebanese position.
