League of Arab States Secretary General Nabil Fahmi reiterated the League's firm support for Saudi Arabia on the 21st and called on the Houthis to stop making statements escalating the conflict and avoid any actions that might increase regional tension. In a statement on the same day, Fahmi responded to the recent statement of a Houthi spokesperson. Fahmi stressed that Saudi Arabia's security and territorial integrity are an inseparable part of the Arab national security system, and the Arab League firmly supports all legal measures taken by Saudi Arabia to maintain its own security and territorial integrity. Fahmi said that the recent unfounded accusations and threats made by the Houthis against Saudi Arabia are a “dangerous escalation” and are not conducive to maintaining regional security and stability. They will only further increase regional tension and disrupt diplomatic efforts to ease the situation. Fahmi stressed that adhering to dialogue and respecting the efforts made by the region and the international community to comprehensively resolve the Yemeni crisis is the only way to achieve security and stability in Yemen and the region. The Houthis have close ties with Iran and have long confronted the Saudi Arabian-backed Yemeni government. Currently, they mainly control northwestern regions such as the capital Sana'a and the Red Sea port city of Hodeidah. Houthi spokesman Yahya Sareya issued a statement on the 20th saying that a maritime embargo was immediately imposed on Saudi Arabia. The decision was made based on the “blockade against blockade” principle. The Saudi-led multinational coalition later stated that measures had been taken to protect the safe passage of member States' ships through the Mander Strait and would resolutely respond to any threat from the Houthis.
