CAIRO: Egypt's new military rulers said on Saturday the existing cabinet would stay until a new one was formed and the country would respect international treaties, a statement that will reassure Israel and the United States.
"The current government and governors undertake to manage affairs until the formation of a new government," a senior army officer said in a statement delivered on state television, a day after President Hosni Mubarak stepped down.
"The Arab Republic of Egypt is committed to all regional and international obligations and treaties," he said. Egypt's treaties include a 1979 peace accord with US ally Israel, which has been watching developments in Egypt with concern.
