Egypt's military promises to abide by peace deal with Israel

Egypt’s military rulers have promised the country will abide by its international agreements, a nod to allay concerns that Egypt’s peace deal with Israel could be threatened following the ousting of President Hosni Mubarak.

The military has also asked the current government, appointed by Mr Mubarak to continue operating until a new one is formed. It also says it is committed to eventually handing over power to an elected administration.
