The official news agency in the Emirates celebrated the success of Abu Dhabi in reuniting a family of Yemeni Jews with the rest of its members residing in London, after 15 years of separation, and Twitterers wondered - commenting on this - about the fate of the rest of the families displaced by the Emirates.
"WAM" agency stated in a report that Abu Dhabi reunited this family after a forced separation, "an embodiment of the UAE's approach to consolidating human values."
Your humanity is reflected in its pictures in Abha,
when you bury entire Yemeni families by bombing your planes and send them all to one cemetery !!

She referred to the efforts of the concerned authorities in the country, which have joined hands "in order to facilitate the travel of the father and mother from Yemen to the Emirates, and necessary measures have been taken in order for the rest of the family, namely the daughter, son, wife and grandchildren to travel from London to the Emirates."
It is the UAE that
brings together a Yemeni Jewish family and claims that this approach is the approach of tolerance, generosity and human coexistence that the UAE is following on !!!
So what might the UAE call us starvation and dispersal of tens of thousands of Yemeni Muslim families? pic.twitter.com/bCVSUJQYeu

The topic sparked widespread debate on social media platforms; Many of the tweeters saw this as a prelude to normalization with Israel, while those in favor of the UAE's policies saw them as calls for tolerance between religions and humanitarian gestures for the state.
The Emirates News Agency described the gathering of the Yemeni Jewish family as humanity, which is reflected in its best images, and published this clip on its Twitter account.
Other activists interacted with the news, accusing Abu Dhabi of trying to achieve humanitarian gains, while it is dispersing families from each other in Yemen, destroying countries and displacing thousands of their homes without mercy.
And an account in the name of the Emirati dissident Abdullah Al-Tawil wrote, tweeting: "This country is very narrow for its citizens and Muslims, and is very welcoming to other religions!"
Emirati journalist Hamid Al-Maanashi tweeted, "The UAE is a land in which Sheikh Zayed, may God have mercy on him, instilled the values of coexistence and civilized convergence, and the destination of the East and the West.
For his part, Palestinian journalist Louay Jaafar tweeted, “My eyes are full, what about your eyes? O Lord, they do not complete their favor and lead them to the“ Promised Land ”when their cousin was born. Their homes were bombed and they became homeless? Who was the bombing of their homes right? Long live humanity, long lived the Emirates, lived the most beautiful images.
Activist Saif Al-Noufi also tweeted, “It is the UAE, which brings together a Yemeni Jewish family and claims that this approach is the approach of tolerance, generosity and human coexistence that the UAE is pursuing !!! So what would the UAE call us starvation and dispersal of tens of thousands of Yemeni Muslim families?
