Islamist powers will stage a million-man demonstration on Friday at al-Azhar Mosque to express their support for Jerusalem and protest against Israeli violations and the siege of al-Aqsa Mosque.

The demonstration aims at asserting that Arabs are not busy with their own domestic affairs and that Jerusalem’s issue is the most important one for Arabs and Muslims, a Muslim Brotherhood spokesman said.

The Islamic Jama'a will also take part in the demonstration to protest against what they called the regime's weak stance towards Israeli practices against Palestine.

The Jama'a called for allowing Jihadists to go to Palestine and expelling the Israeli ambassador to Egypt.

On the other hand, the Salafi al-Nour Party said it will not participate in the demostration.

Nour Party "will not take part in the million-man demonstration the Muslim Brotherhood had called for", said Galal Mora, the party's secretary general.
