From UAE
"The palestinian embassy in abu dhabi called for a "Gaza solidarity" rally in front of the embassy from 5 to 8 pm this evening. The placid crowd of about 50 mostly young Palestinian men and women were dispersed by the army within the hour. There were police and dozens of army personnel in riot gear "shoving" people and urging them to disassemble as an acquaintance who attended told me. I drove by at around six, the crowd had already dispersed and armoured military vehicles were on the streets."
