The Arab League’s deputy secretary general said on Wednesday the regional body would discuss a proposal by Yemen’s foreign minister who called on Arab states to intervene militarily to halt the Shi’ite militia’s Houthi advance.

“Yemen’s foreign minister proposed the idea today … in a meeting with the Arab League Secretary General,” Ahmed Ben Hilli, told Al Arabiya Al Hadath television channel.

“The issue will be presented tomorrow at the foreign ministers’ level,” he said.

  1. Why discuss it tomorrow?
    Wait till next year, after the houthi terrorists have overtaken all Yemen.
    And funny how the U.S. ran away with its tail between its legs.

      You wanted them to … you should be happy they allow the Arabs to try to sort themselves out.
      Seems a reasonable idea ….

      1. But they aren’t allowing the Arabs to sort it out themselves in Iraq. In fact they are siding with Iran in Iraq.

          If they wanted to stop the Houthis (or ISIS), it would’ve taken the US weeks to cut their advancing through aerial attacks (jets and drones). They let these advance, because then they can go in big and for the long haul.
