Foreign media: Lebanon is deeply in diplomatic crisis 4 Gulf countries recall diplomats from Beirut

Reference News Network reported on October 31 that according to Agence France-Presse Dubai news, on the 30th local time, the United Arab Emirates recalled diplomats in Beirut to "solidarity" with Saudi Arabia, because a Lebanese minister criticized Saudi Arabia's military intervention in Yemen. Emirati citizens are also barred from traveling to Lebanon.

According to reports, the Lebanese diplomatic crisis broke out on the 29th local time, and Saudi Arabia recalled the ambassador to Lebanon on the same day and ordered the Lebanese ambassador to leave Saudi Arabia within 48 hours. The dispute also led to a Saudi ban on the import of Lebanese goods, a blow to Lebanon, which is already mired in a serious political and economic crisis and counting on financial assistance from the Gulf. A few hours later, Bahrain announced the expulsion of the Lebanese ambassador to the country, and Kuwait announced similar measures on the 30th.

Lebanon's information minister, George Kurdashi, reportedly criticized the Saudi-led state's military intervention in Yemen in an interview this week. In his speech, Kurdashi said Yemen's seven-year war was "futile" and said it was "time to end this war." (Compiler/Liu Yuehua)
