Good question. I noticed that Canada Post also ships to Macedonia, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. EBay international shipping also ships to Qatar, Macedonia, Morocco and Saudi Arabia so I would guess that they aren't blocked for a US political reason?

As per the CA page here is a list of currently embargoed countries. Same list on dot com. Products from there can't be shipped so would be shipping to. Not finding an actual list on ebay of banned countries.
Goods from embargoed countries aren't allowed.
What is the policy?
Sellers can't list embargoed goods or pre-embargoed goods from these countries or regions:
- Cuba
- Crimea, Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) and Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR) regions of Ukraine (as defined under applicable sanctions)
- Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea)
- Iran
- Syria
You may want to check your settings to make sure something hasn't gone haywire. Unfortunately that does happen from time to time. Settings link attached.

Is Kuwait blocked for everything that you're listing, or have you only noticed it for one item? Is it possible the item can't be exported to certain countries? It's a long shot, but could be a possible explanation.

I'm grumpy about that list, because Cuba is not on any embargo or sanctions list by the Canadian government. Canadians and Cubans can freely trade, visit, even emigrate.
But the Americans do embargo, even though they actually have a naval base on the island.

The problem with Ukraine is that, although they were the ones attacked, the country is a war zone, and postal systems in war zones are not reliable.

100% agreement on that. I had a hand crafted jewelry box made in Kuba(sp intentional...don't want to irritate the bots) pulled a few years ago because of the US's ongoing incompatibility with that country. When I spoke to CS(at the time) they said there was nothing I could do. Totally harmless piece of kitsch that eBay considered damaging to their way of life. Ahhh sense with lack of sensibility. Yet when you look, at times, you are able to find listings (stamps/coins/postcards) relating to that country without problem.

As far as I know Cuba's a good example of how complicated things can get.
Unless things have changed, a US citizen can sell Cuban stamps to another US citizen no problems.
A US citizen cannot import Cuban stamps. (I think technically they can if they're older than when the embargo started but I could be wrong about that).
I know of a dealer in New Zealand who got into hot water with PAYPAL aka suspended (years ago now) when they sold Cuban stamps to someone in Europe. They got into trouble because PAYPAL (USA) was used and it could not be used even though the source and destination of the stamps was outside of the US.
And those were the good old days when things were less complicated.....

We have some high quality, award winning collections of Cuban stamps that we'd love to offer here but don't want to endanger our account.
And these are pre-revolutionary issues!
As my secretary said the first time she visited Cuba, circa 1976 "No worries, no snow, no Americans!".
