The resignation came as several opposition lawmakers sought to question the prime minister and other ministers on various issues, including corruption and the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The government was formed in March after the previous cabinet of Sheikh Sabah Al-Khalid Al-Sabah resigned in January.
