Saudi Arabia ordered the expulsion of the Lebanese ambassador on Friday following comments by the country's information minister that were critical of the war in Yemen.

The Saudi foreign ministry said in a statement that it was giving Lebanon's ambassador 48 hours to leave the country and that it was recalling its envoy to Beirut, after Information Minister George Kordahi criticised the Saudi-led coalition fighting Houthi rebels in Yemen in an interview which aired on Monday.

Riyadh also ordered the immediate halt to all Lebanese imports, State news agency SPA reported.
