Egyptian demonstrators call for expulsion of Israeli ambassador

CAIRO, (PIC)-- Hundreds of Egyptian protestors demonstrated in Cairo on Sunday to condemn the latest Israeli occupation massacres in the Gaza Strip. The demonstrators strongly protested the Egyptian collusion and the Arab silence towards the latest Israeli onslaught on the Gaza Strip. The Egyptian security forces placed a security cordon around the demonstrators closing the road of Qasr al-Aini. Participants in the demonstration, who came from across the political and social spectrum, presented the Egyptian government with three demands; the opening of the Rafah crossing, the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador and to stop exporting Egyptian gas to Israel. They also accused the Egyptian government of collusion and called for the resignation of the Egyptian foreign minister and the chief editor of the Aram newspaper for their anti-resistance stands. They chanted slogans such as "we sacrifice our blood for you Palestine", "FM, are you a minister of Egypt or a minister of Israel", "be steadfast Hamas, you are the gun and we are the bullets", "Mubarak, tell us: are you with or against us?", "Shaikh of Azhar, why are you quiet, do you see what is happening in Gaza or not?" Dr. Muhammad Biltaji, member of the Muslim Brotherhood parliamentary bloc delivered a speech in which he blamed the impotence of Arab rulers and accused the Egyptian government of giving the Israeli occupation the green light to go ahead in its carnage against the Gaza Strip. He stressed that the wrong policies of the Egyptian regime brought shame onto the Egyptian people pointing out to the arrest of Dr. Jamal Abdel-Salam the Secretary General of the Relief Committee as proof that Egypt is reinforcing the occupation policy of starving the people of Gaza. He also said that the Egyptian official media has implemented the instructions of the Israeli security cabinet to the letter with regard to a media campaign in preparation for the war on Gaza.
