After Saudi Arabia also Bahrain against Lebanon: expels the ambassador and blocks imports

by admin

The ambassador of Lebanon has 48 hours to leave Bahrain and the borders have been closed to all imports from the country of the cedars. It is the latest effect of the crisis triggered by the statements of Beirut’s Information Minister, George Kordahi: in an interview recorded in August and broadcast on October 26, the current representative of the Beirut government described the war in Yemen as a aggression by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

A position immediately challenged by Riyadh, which in retaliation ordered the blocking of imports from Lebanon, banned its citizens from traveling to Lebanon and recalled its ambassador from Beirut. In an attempt to ease the tension, the Lebanese premier has meanwhile asked the Minister of Information to take the “right decision”, effectively inviting him to resign. Kordahi – close to the Christian movement Marada, an ally of the militant group Hezbollah – had made statements on Yemen during a television program before being chosen for the post of government in September.
