Lebanon’s information minister is expected to announce his resignation in a bid to ease an unprecedented diplomatic crisis with Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries.

Minister George Kordahi told local TV stations Al-Jadeed and MTV on Thursday night that he intended to step down, weeks after televised comments he made that were critical of Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen.
