The report comes while a senior Israeli official said earlier on Friday that it was too soon to speculate about the consequences of Mubarak's resignation.
“It's too early to foresee how [the resignation] will affect things,” the official was quoted by Reuters as saying.
The report followed the transfer of power from Mubarak to the Supreme Council of the Egyptian Armed Forces, which is headed by Defense Minister Gen. Mohammed Tantawi.
Egypt's main opposition party, the Muslim Brotherhood, called for the establishment of a civilian government and constitution that "guarantees freedom and human rights."
The transition of power to the military comes while Mubarak, Vice President Omar Suleiman and Prime Minister Ahmad Shafiq are all former military men. Analysts believe despite the transition Mubarak would still remain in power.
This is while millions of Egyptians have for the past 18 days called for the departure of Mubarak and the establishment of a democratic government.
