UAE.

United Arab Emirates.

Reports surfaced on Thursday that the UAE expelled 350 Palestinians, originally from Gaza, who held two-year Egyptian or Jordanian passports, according to Hussam Ahmad, the head of the Department of Refugee Affairs in Gaza...Ambassador Al-Araidi denied that the UAE was implementing a deliberate policy of expulsion: “There are 150,000 Palestinians in the Emirates and if some of them are having problems with their documents or procedures then they were deported, but this does not mean that there is any targeting of the Palestinians or others.
