Muslim Brotherhood Spokesman Ahmed Aref announced on Thursday that the Egyptian branch will take part in the Global March to Jerusalem that marks the 46th anniversary of the occupation of eastern Jerusalem by Israeli forces starting from the Six-Day War.

"We call on everyone to meet in front of the memorial of the Unknown Soldier in Cairo’s Nasr City after Friday prayers to participate in the Global March to Jerusalem," added Aref on his official Facebook page.

Tens of parallel marches are scheduled in several countries such as Palestine, Germany, Lebanon, Canada, US, Tunisia and Malaysia.

"The marches aim to highlight the issue of Jerusalem … by which we point out the racism and Judaisation practices of the occupying state against Jerusalem and Palestine," added Aref.

Salafist Al-Asala party and members of the World Federation of Muslim Scholars are also expected to join Friday’s march.

In May, dozens of Islamist protesters gathered at Al-Azhar Mosque in Cairo after the noon prayers to denounce Israeli assaults on Syria and the arrest of Palestine’s top Muslim cleric in Jerusalem.
