Thousands of Egyptian protesters have gathered outside the Israeli embassy in the capital,
calling for an end to Cairo’s relations with Tel Aviv.
Several hundred angry protesters also gathered in Cairo’s historic Liberation Square following the Friday Prayers.
Protesters voiced their anger at Tel Aviv by burning the Israeli flag
and demanding the liberation of Palestine and departure of the Israeli ambassador.
Protesters demanded that the Egyptian government sever all ties with Israel and an immediate halt in gas exports to Tel Aviv.
The new wave of demonstrations is the latest in a series of major protest rallies
that led to the downfall of the decades-long Egyptian ruler Hosni Mubarak.
