Kuwait’s Parliament Speaker Marzouq al-Ghanim said on Monday that he received a grilling motion request from MP Shuaib al-Muwaizri against Deputy Premier and Minister of Interior Anas al-Saleh.

The grilling motion has been put on the upcoming session's agenda, he added.

Ghanim said the motion includes three axes and a copy of it was sent to Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah al-Khalid and Saleh.

Discussion on the most recent parliamentary motion has been postponed due to the health measures taken to limit the coronavirus outbreak.

It was supposed to take place on July 14 and was filed by MP Riyadh al-Adsani against Finance Minister Barak al-Shitan.

On June 17, the government managed to discuss two motions. The first was filed by MP Faisal al-Kandari against Minister of Education and Higher Education Saud al-Harbi, and the other by Adsani against Shitan.

Syria's de facto leader Ahmed al-Sharaa received a delegation from Bahrain on Wednesday and met with the Bahraini foreign minister, state media reported.

The visit was the latest in a flurry of diplomatic overtures by Arab countries to Syria’s new leaders after they overthrew former President Bashar al-Assad in a lightning rebel offensive.

Like other Gulf countries, Bahrain had cut off diplomatic ties with Syria under Assad’s rule during the Syrian civil war, but it reopened its embassy in Damascus in 2018 and gradually restored ties with the Assad government.

Bahrain is the current head of the Arab summit, and days after Assad’s ouster it had sent a message to al-Sharaa offering its cooperation with the new authorities and saying, “We look forward to Syria regaining its authentic role in the Arab League.”
