Egypt’s president says Syrian leader Bashar Assad must learn from “recent history” and step down before it is too late.

Mohamed Morsy’s reference to “recent history” appeared to allude to the fate of authoritarian regimes in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and Yemen that have been overthrown by Arab Spring uprisings.

Mr. Morsy spoke Wednesday at a meeting of Arab foreign ministers in Cairo.
