On October 31, local time, Lebanon's information minister, George Kurdashi, said in an interview with local television that he could not resign from the government.
Kurdani's comments on the situation in Yemen before taking office have been exposed in recent days and have been criticized, with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other Gulf countries announcing the recall of their ambassadors to Lebanon. Inside Lebanon, political and religious groups have diverged over how to resolve the diplomatic crisis with the Gulf states. Members of Parliament from Lebanon's Allah Party said Allah party had refused to put pressure on the information minister. (Reporters Ci Xiaoning and Sun Hu)
