Egypt Detains 10 Activists After Pro-Palestinian Rally

The arrests follow a demonstration criticizing Egypt's role in the Gaza siege and calling for an end to diplomatic ties with Israel.

Egyptian authorities arrested 10 activists on charges of spreading false information and joining a terror group, following a pro-Palestinian rally.
The protesters criticized Egypt's role in the Gaza siege and demanded the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador.
Critics of the Egyptian government have called for the reversal of a 2007 agreement allowing Israel to inspect convoys entering Gaza through the Rafah border crossing.
The rally, attended by nearly 200 people, featured slogans and banners against Egypt's assistance to the Gaza siege and normalization with Israel.
The arrests are part of a broader crackdown on political dissent in Egypt, where protests have been largely banned since 2013.
