UAE condemns pro-Palestine protests targeting its embassy in Syria

Pro-Palestine protests in Damascus, Syria, have targeted the United Arab Emirates' embassy due to anger over the country's support for Israel amid the conflict in Gaza. Demonstrators, who labeled the embassy "the Zionist embassy," were part of wider regional outrage against Israeli policies. A Syrian security official confirmed that some protesters attempted to storm the compound but were stopped by internal security forces. The UAE condemned the incident as "riots" and "vandalism," calling on Syrian authorities to protect its diplomatic mission. This event highlights the ongoing regional backlash against the UAE's normalization of ties with Israel under the Abraham Accords.
