Report: UAE to deport hundreds of Palestinians by month's end
Lirun has posted an interesting link in the comments section...


"The United Arab Emirates will deport hundreds of Palestinians living within its territory by the end of September, the Al-Quds al-Arabi daily reported on Friday.

The UAE government gave no official reason for its decision, but said that senior state officials have approved the expulsion.

Palestinian lawmaker Aataf Adwan called the decision a campaign against both Palestinians and those of other nationalities born in the UAE.

According to the Lebanese newspaper Al-Aakhbar, the UAE is also planning to deport dozens of Shi'ite Lebanese citizens. Forty-five Lebanese businessmen and clerks have already been expelled, said the report.

None of those deported were given an explanation, according to the report, other than being told the decision was security related.

Some Palestinians have already been deported for giving financial aid to family members in Gaza, said an official in the Strip's ruling Hamas movement. Hamas has asked the Arab League to intervene, fearing other Gulf state may follow suit.

More than 100,000 Palestinians currently live in the United Arab Emirates."

Old news. The papers reported it alrit, but post the outcry, those papers here haven't updated the news. So all we're left with is the Palestinian ambassador claiming these rumours are baseless and false. Make what you may of it.

I don't have an opinion because I really don't know.

Dubai: Khairy Al Aridi, Palestinian Ambassador to the UAE, was quoted by the Ramallah-based official Palestinian news agency Wafa on Thursday as denying a deliberate policy of expulsion from the UAE.

He also said that the Palestinians in the UAE enjoy their full rights and live in peace and stability. He also added that the wise leadership of the country has placed the Palestinian question at the top of its list of its priorities.

The ambassador also expressed astonishment about the allegations of ousting Palestinians from Gaza from the country, while the UAE's government stood and is still standing by the Palestinian people.
