Yemen summoned its ambassador to Lebanon for consultations following the statements made by the Lebanese Minister of Information, George Kordahi, about the war on Yemen. The Yemeni Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it had summoned its ambassador to Lebanon, Abdullah Al-Deais, to “consult about the reprehensible statements of the Lebanese Minister of Information.” The ministry described it as “a deviation from the Arab position in support of the just Yemeni cause in the face of a coup militia.” The current Yemeni government is supported by the Arab Coalition that is led by both Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates (UAE).In the past days, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, and Kuwait announced the withdrawal of their ambassadors from Beirut. Saudi Arabia subsequently banned all Lebanese imports in response to Kordahi’s stance regarding the Yemeni war, which he described as a “futile war” and the Saudi-Emarati intervention as “an act of external aggression.”
