U.S. President Barack Obama on Saturday expressed his satisfaction with the commitment of the Egyptian armed forces to hand over power to a civilian government elected by the people and respect the peace treaty with Israel. In calls to various foreign leaders, Obama repeated his admiration for the Egyptian people, which forced the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak on Friday, after 18 days of protests.
The U.S. president promised to give Egypt any assistance required, including funds, to move towards free and fair elections, said the White House. The statements of the military also had good reception in Israel, whose government sheltered concern that the disorder in Egypt would jeopardize the bilateral peace treaty.
Egyptian armed forces firmly support the pact, in part because it ensures the U.S. military aid, which reached 300 million billion dollars a year. Obama spoke Saturday with British Prime Minister David Cameron and Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan also Jordan's King Abdullah, who faces protests at home.
The U.S. government has closely observed the demonstrations in Jordan and other countries after the successful revolt of Egypt and Tunisia last month. Obama told his interlocutors on Saturday he believes that democracy will bring more stability to the region.
