Morsi Reassures Israel on Accords

Egypt’s newly elected president Mohamed Morsi vowed to “preserve international accords and obligations” in his first speech on Sunday evening. The comment seemed to be a reference to the peace treaty with Israel. He also called army and police “brothers,” despite the military council’s recent attempts to curb presidential power. And implying that he would not attempt to Islamize Egypt, Morsi promised to be a president to all Egyptians: "Muslims, Christians, the elderly, children, women, men, farmers, teachers, workers, those who work in the private and public sectors, and the merchants."
