READOUT: SECRETARY OF DEFENSE HAGEL'S CALL WITH EGYPTIAN DEFENSE MINISTER AL-SISI

FROM:  U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 
Readout of Secretary Hagel's Call with Egyptian Defense Minister al-Sisi

Pentagon Press Secretary George Little issued the following readout:

             "This afternoon Secretary Hagel spoke by phone with Egyptian Defense Minister al-Sisi to express deep concern about the security situation and recent violence in Egypt, and to encourage that restraint be exercised during this difficult period. The United States believes that the current transition needs to be marked by inclusivity, that Egyptian authorities should avoid politicized arrests and detentions, and take steps to prevent further bloodshed and loss of life. It is in the short and long term interests of the Egyptian people to renew their path toward democratic transition, and to emphasize tolerance across the political spectrum."
