Bahrainis rallied in the village of al-Qadam after Friday midday prayers, carrying banners that described the war on Yemen as “futile,” echoing Lebanon’s Information Minister George Kordahi.
“The Bahraini nation calls for an end to the futile war on Yemen,” one of the banners read.
The rally came as the Manama regime on October 30 asked the Lebanese ambassador to leave the country within 48 hours in response to the comment made by Kordahi. That move came a day after a similar measure by Saudi Arabia, which also banned all Lebanese imports.
