Egypt’s ruling military council rejected an offer to resign by Prime Minister Essam Sharaf for failure to handle the demonstration efficiently, the Arabic television channel Al Arabiya reported.
One news website earlier in the day had suggested he might offer his resignation over the violence that led to the Israeli ambassador flying out of Cairo to Israel.
The news channel cited its reporter. Officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
