GCIS/MSS INTELLIGENCE UPDATE: Israel's Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu says that Israel's three-decade-old peace agreement with Egypt must be preserved -- despite the chaos and

It was Netanyahu's first public statement on the turmoil in Egypt since antigovernment protests began six days ago.
Netanyahu said his "objective is to ensure" the preservation of peaceful ties between Egypt and Israel -- a cornerstone for geopolitical stability in the Middle East.

Government buildings have been torched and more than 100 people have been killed in clashes with security forces. (read full report)
