Tens of thousands of Lebanese Hezbollah supporters protested Israel's air assault on the Gaza Strip. In a speech addressed to the protesters Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah attacked the United States and Egypt and called for a third intifada ( uprising ) not only in Palestine but in the Arab world as well. Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit on Monday accused Nasrallah of "declaring war on the Egyptian People" but said "the Egyptian People would confront this war."
