Abdul Hadi Falahat, president of Agricultural Engineers' Association, said, "This is a day of anger around the world in solidarity with Gaza. When Jordanians from all political orientations demonstrate, they show that supporting Gaza is a duty for every Arab and Muslim."

In the Egyptian town of Alexandria, demonstrators gathered downtown outside the Qaid Ibrahim mosque. Friday's protest was the largest in the city for years. Many protestors said Israel is fighting a losing battle.

In Algeria, demonstrators took to the streets of the capital Algiers after Friday prayers. Algerian Police had earlier banned any type of gathering from taking place but thousands defied the ban and marched to show their solidarity with the Palestinians.
