SANA'A, Nov. 27 (Saba) - George Kordahi's remarks have resonated widely among the official and popular circles of Yemenis.

"If Saudi Arabia bans Lebanon's products due to stance is taken George Kordahi, I call on the National Salvation Government to hold an emergency meeting and issue a decision to ban Saudi products from entering Yemen", Mohammed Ali al-Houthi said in a tweet.
Al-Houthi also directed moral guidance to raise banners with a picture of George Kordahi, Lebanese Minister of Information, in the capital, Sana'a.
