The army and opposition movements are characterizing the removal of Morsi not as a coup but as a continuation of the revolution, reflecting the will of the people.
The April 6 Movement, one of the main anti-Morsi blocs, releases a statement thanking the army for removing the president from power:
“Today the demands of the people have been met…the statement of the armed forces coincided with the demands of the people, and the proposal of the political forces and that of April 6, which it had put forward in July.”
The Tamarod, or rebel, movement, on the other hand, has a simpler message:

Earlier, Tamarod said it would continue rallying to make sure the people’s will was carried out, perhaps a signal that it supports, but doesn’t totally trust, the army.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
