Saudi Arabia has ended its five-year ban on Lebanese imports, a significant move to rebuild relations between Lebanon and Gulf countries.

Kuwait’s foreign minister says he has handed Lebanese officials a list of suggestions for confidence-building measures with oil-rich Gulf states after relations between the two sides deteriorated dramatically over the past months.

Lebanon’s information minister has resigned in a bid to ease an unprecedented, weekslong diplomatic crisis with Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Arab countries.

A televised remark by a game show host-turned Cabinet minister in Lebanon about the war in Yemen has taken Lebanon's crisis with Saudi Arabia to new depths.

Saudi state media says the kingdom has ordered the Lebanese ambassador to leave the country within 48 hours.
