The Egyptian state-run TV channel broadcasted demonstrations in nine governorates, as well as in several locations in the capital. They also chanted in support of President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi, who has resisted the idea of allowing people from Gaza through the border to Egypt. Protests are planned elsewhere in the Middle East. Protests are also planned in Jordan.
