U.S. President Barack Obama consulted with world leaders on Sunday following the latest developments in the uprising in Egypt.
Among those leaders with whom Obama spoke was Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. The President also consulted Jordanian King Abdullah, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and British Prime Minister David Cameron.
The White House said in a statement that "During his calls, the president reiterated his focus on opposing violence and calling for restraint; supporting universal rights, including the right to peaceful assembly, association, and speech; and supporting an orderly transition to a government that is responsive to the aspirations of the Egyptian people."
Earlier on Sunday, the U.S. embassy in Cairo told its citizens to consider leaving the country as soon as possible and warned against traveling in the country. The warning is more severe than the previous statement to citizens to avoid non-essential travel in Egypt.
Approximately 90,000 Americans are estimated to live, work and study in Egypt, and several companies have told their employees’ families to leave.
