The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about travel restrictions on British citizens travelling from the UAE, but petitions need to request a single specific action, and your main text of your petition is inconsistent with its main ask.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, we could accept a request for either of the changes you mention, or a review of restrictions that could look at both of these.
We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
