Israel Warns the U.S. Not to Weaken Egypt's Gen. Tantawi
(Maariv-Hebrew-28Nov11) Eli Bardanstein and Amit Cohen - Diplomatic circles in Israel expressed criticism of the White House, which called on Friday for the Egyptian government to transfer the reigns of authority to a civilian government at the earliest possible time.
