Bethany Bell reports on the violence outside the Israeli embassy-
Egypt has vowed to protect all embassies in the country, hours after protesters stormed the Israeli mission, prompting the evacuation of diplomats.
The interim military government said protesters involved in the attack on the Israeli mission would be tried in an emergency state security court.
Egypt is on alert after the attack, in which three people died as security forces fought rioters in Cairo.
Anti-Israeli feeling rose after violence on the Gaza border last month.
Five Egyptian policemen were killed as Israeli forces pursued Palestinian militants.
The clashes at the Israeli embassy, which went on through Friday night, have shocked people both in Egypt and abroad, the BBC's Bethany Bell reports from the Egyptian capital.
Reports on Egyptian State TV said Prime Minister Essam Sharaf had offered to step down but his resignation was refused by the country's military leader, Field Marshal Tantawi.
Under Egypt's former leader, Hosni Mubarak, such violent displays of anger against Israel would not have been tolerated, our correspondent says.
Now the army has to try to balance the demands of its angry people and its longstanding strategic commitments, she adds.
