It was all about the Arab League summit on the airwaves last night

It was a rather slow night on talk shows yesterday, with talking heads giving President El Sisi’s speech during the Arab League summit in Algeria priority. Masaa DMC (watch, runtime: 2:45), Ala Mas’ouleety (watch, runtime: 2:18) and Al Hayah Al Youm (watch, runtime: 1:32) all covered this speech, which touched on regional security and the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. Meanwhile, in an interview on Yahduth Fi Masr Arab League Assistant Secretary-General Hossam Zaki downplayed the absence of a third of the region’s leaders, arguing that the level of representation was actually “high” and was not an obstacle for the summit (watch, runtime: 7:27).
