Kuwait expels Beirut envoy in row over Saudi’s military role in Yemen

Expulsion ordered a day after similar move by Saudi Arabia in response to criticism of the Riyadh-led intervention

Kuwait has given Lebanon's envoy to the emirate 48 hours to leave, a day after Saudi Arabia made a similar move over a minister's criticism of the Riyadh-led military intervention in Yemen.

The diplomatic row, in which Saudi Arabia has also suspended imports from Lebanon and Bahrain has expelled Beirut's envoy to Manama, is another blow for a country already in the grip of crippling political and economic crises.
