El Baradei says, "I have been mandated by the people who
organized these demonstrations"
4/4/2011 - Former International Atomic Energy Agency chief
Mohamed ElBaradei, who had previously announced his intentions to run for
the presidency of Egypt, said “if Israel attacked Gaza we would declare war
against the Zionist regime." He also stated that "Israel controls
Palestinian soil"
1/30/2011 - The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's largest
opposition group, is in talks with other anti-government figures to form a
national unity government without President Hosni Mubarak.
Although the Muslim Brotherhood is officially banned from running for
elections for parliament, some movement members have presented candidacy for
parliament as independents.
Gamal Nasser, a spokesman for the Brotherhood, said his group was in talks
with Mohammed ElBaradei - the former UN nuclear watchdog chief - to form a
national unity government without the National Democratic Party of Mubarak.
The group is also demanding an end to the draconian Emergency Laws, which
grant police wide-ranging powers The laws have been used often to arrest and
harass the Islamist group.
Nasser said his group would not accept any new government with Mubarak. On
Saturday the Brotherhood called on President Mubarak to relinquish power in
a peaceful manner following the resignation of the Egyptian cabinet.
Speaking to CNN later Sunday, ElBaradei said he had a popular and political
mandate to negotiate the creation of a national unity government.
"I have been authorized - mandated - by the people who organized these
demonstrations and many other parties to agree on a national unity
government," he told CNN.
"I hope that I should be in touch soon with the army and we need to work
together. The army is part of Egypt," the opposition leader added.
Opposition figure Mustafa el-Naggar stated that ElBaradei "will be joining
protesters in Tahrir," adding he would come to the square later on Sunday,
his first visit to the hub of the protest since returning to Egypt on
Thursday.
The Egyptian cabinet formally resigned Saturday at the command of Mubarak,
following violent anti-government protests that have now reached their sixth
day unabated.
Mubarak has yet to comment on the cabinet's resignation. The embattled
president addressed the country on Saturday for the fist time since the
riots began, saying that he had no intention to resign.
The protests are the most serious challenge to Mubarak's 30-year
authoritarian rule. The embattled president defended the security forces'
crackdown on protesters, but said that he will press ahead with social,
economic and political reforms in the country.
Mubarak has not said yet whether he will stand for another six-year term as
president in elections this year. He has never appointed a deputy and is
thought to be grooming his son Gamal to succeed him despite popular
opposition.
