Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood is calling for protests to be held in front of all major mosques around the country 3pm Thursday, calling on the government to cut all diplomatic and economic ties with Israel. It has also called for large scale protests following Friday prayers at Al-Azhar Mosque.
The military operation carried out Wednesday by Israel killed top Hamas commander Ahmed Al-Jabari and saw the death of 11 others and the injury of tens more.
In a press statement released by the Brotherhood, of which President Mohamed Morsi hailed, the group states that Israel's "criminal aggression" poses a serious threat to stability of the region.
It further condemned US support for Israel and blamed Arab states for "standing idly as Palestinian blood is shed."
It further claimed that the government "cannot stand less than cutting all relations with the Zionist entity, since the Egyptian state needs to stand as a role model to Arabs and Muslims." more
