"God is alive, the voice of the people is still alive, the voice of the resistance is still alive."\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nPeople were also chanting slogans against the government of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, demanding the closure of the Israeli embassy and the expulsion of the regime's ambassador.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n"Resistance is the solution," people chanted. "The people want the fall of Israel." Demonstrators also chanted slogans invoking "Arab armies" to act.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nSeveral countries and aid organizations have been sending cargo planes and trucks to the Rafah border crossing for days but none has been allowed to enter so far.
