Egyptians gathered at Cairo’s Liberation Square — the epicenter of the Egyptian revolution that toppled former president Hosni Mubarak’s regime.
The Cairo rally — named a million-man march — coincides with the anniversary of Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories in 1948.
Activists have called for a march to neighboring Gaza, which is under Israel’s siege.
Meanwhile, several thousand also held protest outside the Israeli consulate in Alexandria, calling for an end to Cairo’s relations with Tel Aviv.
They demanded their military rulers to abandon Israel and lift the blockade on the besieged Gaza Strip.
Protesters have threatened to continue massive protest rallies if the current government does not move to cut off ties with the Israeli regime.
Egypt’s political parties say the Gaza blockade serves the interests of Israel and the US and threatens regional stability and independence.
