"A senior official in Jerusalem said, "Israel is in no way interested in involving itself in Egypt's affairs, and therefore we have received clear instructions to keep a low profile in the Egyptian matter."
"The American government has adopted a different strategy, with President Barak Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs all discussing Egypt's current chaotic predicament in televised addresses Friday.
"In his speech Friday evening, President Obama called on the government and protesters to resolve the current situation peacefully on both sides.
