And in Pretoria, South Africa, protestors gathered outside of the Egyptian embassy to show their support of Palestinians in Gaza. They criticized Egypt for not doing enough to stop the violence in Gaza.

Mellissa Hoole, spokesperson of Palestinian Solidarity Committee, said, "Thousands of people from all walks of life in South Africa and also immigrants from other countries around the world, are joining forces in their recrimination of Egyptian dictatorship in its complacency with the war crimes that Israel is committing currently massacring hundreds and hundreds of Palestinians as we speak in Gaza."

Israel's government said on Friday it would press ahead with its offensive in the Gaza Strip, despite a UN resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire passed late on Thursday.
