Kuwaiti Cabinet Submits Resignation

The Kuwaiti government submitted its resignation on Thursday, State Minister for Cabinet Affairs Rudhan al-Rudhan told state news agency KUNA.

"The Kuwaiti cabinet submitted its resignation today at an extraordinary meeting," Rudhan said.

The move comes after MPs filed petitions to question the deputy premier for economic affairs and the foreign and information ministers, all senior members of Kuwait's Al-Sabah ruling family.
