Iranian press coverage of today’s events in Egypt is interesting: Anti-Israeli rallies turn violent across Egypt

A large number of demonstrators gathered in the capital Cairo to mark the 40th anniversary of the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.

The angry protesters who gathered in Cairo’s iconic Liberation Square to denounce Israel, burned the Zionist regime’s flag and called for the suspension of ties between Cairo and Tel Aviv.

The demonstrators also demanded the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador to Cairo.

The pro-Morsi Islamic group led by the Muslim Brotherhood had urged its supporters to stage mass rallies on the occasion across the North African country.

“The Egypt Anti-Coup Alliance repeats its call to all Egyptians to continue their protests in every part of Egypt, and to gather in Tahrir Square on Sunday, October 6, to celebrate the army of that victory and its leaders,” the group said in a statement.
