Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz telephoned on Wednesday US President Donald Trump to discuss the Iranian-backed Houthi militias’ firing of a ballistic missile against Riyadh, reported the Saudi Press Agency.

The two leaders stressed that the need to hold Iran accountable for its actions and that the necessary measures be taken to ensure that the relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions are implemented.

Trump condemned the Houthi strike, saying that it was a blatant assault against the Kingdom’s sovereignty and that it targeted a residential area.

Saudi defense forces intercepted the missile south of the capital. No one was injured in the incident.

Trump stressed that the US will stand by Saudi Arabia in confronting threats to its national security.

Furthermore, King Salman and Trump underlined the need to back all humanitarian and relief efforts to ease the suffering of the Yemeni people.

Kuwait's foreign ministry issued on Sunday a circular indicating that it had listed eight hospitals in Lebanon as part of regulations related to "combating terrorism.”

Lebanon's health ministry expressed surprise and said it would seek clarification.

It said it received the Kuwaiti statement "with great surprise", adding it had not been provided with "any information or notification from any Kuwaiti entity about this matter.”

"The hospitals mentioned in the statement are registered with the syndicate of private hospitals in Lebanon and carry out their role in providing treatment and health services to all Lebanese without exception," the ministry statement said.

It called the facilities "an essential part of the Lebanese health system,” and said it would contact the relevant authorities to request clarification and "protect Lebanon's health system.”

It noted that "Kuwait has numerous joint projects with the ministry... and has been among the most prominent countries that have stood by the health system during the successive crises that Lebanon has faced.”

The latest move was "unprecedented and inconsistent" with the Gulf country's usual approach, it added.
