Mexican Foreign Minister Massieu commented that the government is waiting on the findings of an "exhaustive investigation" into the incident by the Egyptian government that was demanded by President Nieto, Reuters said. She said Mexico is ready to take “international” action if the findings are “unsatisfactory,” but would not comment further on this topic, according to Reuters. Mexico has also demanded compensation for the victims.

The Mexican Foreign Ministry has updated its Egyptian travel advisory, telling citizens "to reconsider or delay plans to travel to Egypt given social and political instability, as well as the threat of terrorist attacks or the actions of armed forces to confront them," per Reuters.

A gag order is in place at the Egyptian prosecutor general's office on news related to this incident until the investigation is complete, Reuters said.
