I don't think the organiser of the one we're going to is cancelling.
Who comes up with these rumours?

No one is really sure at the moment as the news reported "all forms of celebration"
I am waiting for our PRO and Comms team to issue the interpretation to us this afternoon.

The only news has been on Agency wire:
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates: Dubai's ruler has ordered the cancellation of all New Year's celebrations in the freewheeling Gulf city state because of the violence in Gaza.
Emirates news agency WAM said Tuesday that Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum called off "all forms of celebrations" but did not elaborate.
The order calls for Dubai instead to mark the new year "with a somber tone as a token of solidarity" with the Palestinian people and with the Gaza Strip in particular.
It was not immediately clear when the ban would take effect or whether it would apply to the scores of bars and restaurants planning pricey New Year's Eve events.
There is no further information yet...

A case of 'it's my country and I'll do what I want to'.
The hoteliers/event managers etc must be absolutely pulling their hair out as very little information has been provided and they really don't know what they can and can't do. Businesses are going to lose a lot of money this evening and I am sure the tourists are none too happy either.
