(35 minutes later)
Egypt's army has warned against any attempt to disrupt the country during the current "difficult" situation. Egypt's defence minister has warned against any attempt to disrupt the country's "difficult" transition.
Defence Minister Abdel Fatah al-Sisi said the "future of the nation is too important and sacred for manoeuvres or hindrance".
His statement comes almost a week after the army deposed the Islamist president Mohammed Morsi and appointed top judge Adly Mansour as interim leader.His statement comes almost a week after the army deposed the Islamist president Mohammed Morsi and appointed top judge Adly Mansour as interim leader.
Supporters of Mr Morsi have been protesting against his ousting. Supporters of Mr Morsi have been holding demonstrations against his ousting.
Meanwhile, Mr Mansour has been trying to shore up his position by appointing Hazem el-Beblawi as prime minister.
Mr el-Beblawi served as finance minister during the period of military rule in the aftermath of Hosni Mubarak's overthrow.
Mr Mansour has also appointed the liberal politician Mohamed ElBaradei as deputy president, and issued a temporary constitution and a timetable for transition until new elections are held next year.
However, the ultra-conservative Nour party said it was still studying Mr ElBaradei's nomination.
His candidacy as prime minister foundered earlier in the week when Nour objected.
The party withdrew from talks to form a new government, but reports on Tuesday suggested it was back on board.
'Too important'
In a televised speech, defence minister Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi said the "future of the nation is too important and sacred for manoeuvres or hindrance, whatever the justifications".
He said that neither the army nor the people of Egypt would accept "the stalling or disruption" of this "difficult and complex" period.
Egypt has been in turmoil since since Mr Morsi was overthrown last week.
Protesters both for and against the ousted president have been massing on the streets. On Monday, at least 51 people - mostly pro-Morsi supporters from his Muslim Brotherhood movement - were killed outside the barracks where he is allegedly being held.
The families of the dead have said they are being told they will only be allowed to have the bodies if they accept official autopsy reports.
The Muslim Brotherhood has rejected the interim government's new timetable for elections, saying it is illegitimate.
Even the Tamarod protest movement - which led the anti-Morsi protests - has said it was not consulted on the election plan and has asked to see Mr Mansour to discuss the situation.
