Both the leaders shared their concerns about the ongoing violence along with increased political polarisation and agreed on the need for all Egyptian leaders to avoid incitement and discourage violence.
Obama and UAE Crown Prince affirmed that for Egypt to emerge from this crisis, all Egyptians must come together to find an inclusive path forward.
"The President made it clear that United States is encouraging all political, military, and religious leaders in Egypt to remain engaged in dialogue and participate in a political process to hasten a return to democratically elected civilian government," the White House said yesterday.
