KUWAIT AND QATAR WARN CITIZENS — Do not travel to Lebanon and any citizens already in Lebanon should LEAVE IMMEDIATELY. 
Lebanese politicians, well-wishers flock to Saudi embassy to express solidarity
Kuwait: Kuwait and Qatar on Wednesday became the latest Arab countries to follow in Saudi Arabia’s footsteps by urging their citizens already in Lebanon to leave and issuing a travel warning for nationals planning to visit there.
The UAE has banned its citizens from travelling to Lebanon, elevating an earlier travel advisory urging caution. Saudi Arabia and Bahrain have called for their citizens to avoid travel to Lebanon.
The Kuwait News Agency, which carried the travel advisory by Kuwait’s Embassy in Lebanon, gave no details on the nature of the security threat. Qatar’s Foreign Ministry issued a similar advisory later on Wednesday, published on state-run news agency.
The move comes days after Saudi Arabia cut $4 billion in aid to Lebanese security forces in retaliation for Lebanon siding with Iran in the kingdom’s proxy wars with Tehran. Lebanon is home to the powerful Iran-backed Hezbollah group. HaTTiP
