As protesters demanding Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's ouster packed Cairo's central square by the tens of thousands on Friday, similar demonstrations took place across the world, including Iran, Turkey and the West Bank. In Tehran's Palestine Square, thousands voiced their opposition to Mubarak and vented anger over what they saw as interference from United States President, Barack Obama. Protesters holding a demonstration outside the Egyptian Embassy in Istanbul also voiced their support for the anti-government protesters in Egypt. In the West Bank town of Bilin Palestinian demonstrators, some waving Egyptian flags and flags of President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party, clashed with Israeli soldiers.
