Abu Dhabi, the conservative capital of the United Arab Emirates, is getting rid of its licensing formula for drinkers after Dubai continually feels comfortable with its own regulations to encourage sales and tourism in the context of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
The emirate’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced the new regulations in a circular dated last week to distributors and liquor stores, but took up the resolution elsewhere.
Previously, Americans needed a permit to buy, send, or have alcohol at home, but the new regulations seem to set a 21-year age limit and require drinkers to consume drinks inside personal homes or other permitted spaces such as bars.
“Residents and tourists will be able to buy and own alcohol in authorized retail stores, and drink in tourist and hotel establishments, clubs and independent outlets,” says the circular.

Several members of a Fatah separatist motion related to Fatah’s former security chief, Mohammad Dahlan, were arrested in the West Bank on Monday through Palestinian Authority security forces, his faction said in a statement.
General Salim Safiyya and Fatah Revolutionary Council member Haytham al-Halabi were arrested, along with “several of his comrades,” according to Dahlan’s democratic reformist motion. AP security did not respond promptly to a request for feedback.
Palestinian Authority officials have publicly accused Dahlan of being concerned about recent decisions across the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain of openly identifying with Israel. Dahlan has lived in Abu Dhabi since fleeing the West Bank in 2011 and is known to be close to Crown Prince Muhammad bin Zayed.
Although Dahlan has little research in the West Bank and Gaza, he is widely known as a possible candidate to update the palestinian Authority’s elder president, Mahmoud Abbas, and is seen as a political rival to the leader of the Palestinian Authority.
Last week, Israel Hayom incorrectly published that U. S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman said he was “considering” attacking Dahlan as head of the Palestinian leadership. He later corrected Friedman as follows: “We are not looking to create The Palestinian leadership. “
Palestinian officials of all political backgrounds have ignored the correction and issued quite a few condemnations of what was originally attributed to Friedman. Dahlan issued a denial of any involvement: “No one has yet been born who can impose his will [on the Palestinians]. “

Iran’s nuclear company chief says the historic 2015 agreement between Tehran and world powers on its country’s atomic agenda has been complicated since america’s unilateral withdrawal, but it still stands.
Ali Akbar Salehi told delegates at an International Atomic Energy Agency convention in Vienna that the so-called Joint Global Action Plan, or JCPOA, has been “caught up in a s certain point” since President Donald Trump brought the United States out in 2018.
The agreement provides economic incentives to Iran in exchange for limits on its nuclear program. The other global powers in the agreement (France, Germany, Britain, China and Russia) have fought to compensate for the sanctions imposed by the United States.
Iran has damaged the restrictions set out in the agreement on the amount of uranium it can enrich, the purity it can enrich it to, and other constraints to push those countries to do more.
Salehi, speaking in a video speech, said it is of “paramount importance” that these countries find a solution to “the difficulties caused by America’s illegal withdrawal from the agreement. “
“There is still broad agreement within the foreign network that JCPOA will have to be preserved,” he said.
