Demonstrators at a rally organized by the Muslim Brotherhood Movement, opposition parties and trade unions, shouted anti-Israeli slogans and held aloft placards against Israel, the United States and Denmark, where a dozen of newspapers recently reprinted cartoons deemed blasphemous to the Prophet Mohammed.
Demonstrators marched from the Trade Unions Complex to parliament and flags of Israel, the US and Denmark were set ablaze.
Demonstrators criticized "international silence" on the "massacres and Holocaust" conducted by Israel in the Gaza Strip and accused Arab governments of colluding with the Israeli onslaught.
More than 110 Palestinians, including 40 children have died since Wednesday.
In a speech, the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood movement, Salem Falahat, urged all Arab countries to sever ties with Israel and to help the Palestinian resistance.
