The remarks in question saw Gabriel criticise Saudi meddling in the affairs of Lebanon and describing Saudi foreign policy in the region as “adventurism.”
SPA reported that the comments had “surprised” the kingdom, and quoted a Foreign Ministry source as saying that “the kingdom considers that such random statements based on false information do not support stability in the region.”
It added that the kingdom has decided to recall its ambassador to Germany “for consultations” and that it will also hand over the German ambassador to Saudi Arabia a memorandum of protest against what it termed “these unjustified statements.”
The German Foreign Ministry issued a statement Saturday, saying that it was advising not just Saudi Arabia, but all parties to the conflict, to work towards de-escalation.
“Given the current situation, we are very concerned about the stability of the region and call on all sides to de-escalate tensions,” the ministry said.
“To address this openly should be possible and a matter of course among close international allies.
“We address our message to all actors in the region,” the ministry added.
