"Why would I presume that Egypt in the aftermath of this movement is going to be any less supportive?"

Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad said in an interview published Sunday he was confident of Egypt's future support for the Palestinian Authority, despite the political changes there.
 
"Why would I presume that Egypt in the aftermath of this movement is going to be any less supportive?" Fayyad asked in the interview with The Washington Post. "Egyptian people are very supportive of the Palestinian people."

He suggested the uprisings that had shaken Egypt and Tunisia could happen in other Arab countries. "I believe it can. Definitely. It can happen," the prime minister said.
