Egyptians protest against Trump's vow to 'empty Gaza' at Rafah

Egyptians waving Palestinian and Egyptian flags protested at the Rafah border against President Donald Trump's demand that Egypt accept Palestinian refugees. 

The rare protests were carefully choreographed ahead of time, one current and former Egyptian official told Middle East Eye.

Demonstrators waved banners with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi's face. 

Trump on Thursday reiterated his demand that Egypt accept Palestinian refugees.
