On 1 July , again more than 1 millions of demonstrators against Morsi gathered in Tahrir Square and outside the presidential palace , while other demonstrations were held in the cities of Alexandria , Port Said and Suez . Some police officers wearing their uniforms joined the anti-Morsi protests and chanted : " The police and the people are one . " In clashes around the Muslim Brotherhood headquarters in Mokatam , eight people died . Their headquarters was ransacked and burned while protesters threw objects at windows and looted the building , making off with office equipment and documents . Tamarod gave President Mohamed Morsi until 2 July at 17:00 to resign or face a civil disobedience campaign . That was followed by the Egyptian Armed Forces issuing a 48-hour ultimatum that gave the country 's political parties until 3 July to meet the demands of the Egyptian people . The Egyptian military also threatened to intervene if the dispute was not resolved by then . Four ministers also resigned on the same day : Tourism Minister Hisham Zazou ( who previously offered to resign a few months earlier after Morsi appointed an Islamist member of al-Gama ' a al-Islamiyya , the group allegedly responsible of the Luxor massacre , though the group has denied this charge , as governor of Luxor ) , Communication and IT Minister Atef Helmi , State Minister for Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Hatem Bagato , and State Minister for Environmental Affairs Khaled Abdel Aal , leaving the government with only members of the Freedom and Justice Party
