Obama spoke to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Saudi King Abdullah on Saturday, and to UK Prime Minister David Cameron on Sunday, said the White House in a statement.
In his calls, Obama reiterated his opposition against violence and call for restraint, said the White House.

Anti-government protests persisted for the sixth day across Egypt on Sunday as demonstrators demanded the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak.
