The Egyptian military council has released a statement warning the new president Mohammed Mursi to uphold a court’s decision to dissolve parliament.
The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) said it was confident that ‘all state institutions’ would respect the law and constitution.
The statement is likely to infuriate the Muslim Brotherhood, according to a BBC correspondent Jon Leyne.
Members of the Brotherhood believe it was the military that failed to respect the law by giving itself new powers after dissolving parliament last month, he says.
A parliamentary meeting has been called for Tuesday, in defiance of military orders.
