Military police on Sunday managed to disperse demonstrators who have been staging protests before the Israeli embassy for nine days, after their numbers were reduced to under a dozen.
The army blocked the street leading to the embassy and placed six armored vehicles before the building.
The April 6 Youth Movement and the National Association for Change have agreed to suspend the demonstration until a joint investigation into the border attack is complete.
“Those movements do not speak on our behalf,” said Emad Ragab, a demonstrator. “We insist on deporting the Israeli ambassador.”
For his part, activist Magdy Gharib called for boycotting Israel and the US in response to the former filing a lawsuit against Ahmed al-Shahat, the young man who pulled down the Israeli flag on top of the embassy.
“They managed to disperse us for now, but we’ll come again,” said demonstrator Ahmed Hussein.
