“Egypt’s rulers allowed an EU envoy to meet deposed President Mohamed Mursi, the first time an outsider was given access to him since the army overthrew him and jailed him a month ago, and she said she found him in good health. The White House, treading a fine line with a pivotal Arab ally that it funds with $1.3 billion a year in military aid, said on Monday it ‘strongly condemns’ Saturday’s bloodshed, and urged respect for the right to peaceful protest. ‘Violence not only further sets back the process of reconciliation and democratization in Egypt, but it will negatively impact regional stability,’ spokesman Josh Earnest said.”
