A calm night on the airwaves to help ease us back into work mode: The talking heads covered the future of electricity prices, moves to level the playing field between the public and private sector, the 10-year anniversary of the 30 June revolution, and the latest from the West Bank, where Israeli forces have unleashed new violence in Jenin.

The future of electricity prices is still up in the air: Last fiscal year’s freeze on electricity prices expired on 30 June, but the government is yet to announce new tariffs, meaning prices are currently in the hands of electricity companies, House Planning and Budget Committee Deputy Chairman Yasser Omar told Ala Mas’ouleety (watch, runtime: 5:57).

Leveling the playing field: The House Budget Committee will tomorrow discuss a draft billreinstating taxes on state entities that were once subject to tax breaks and other fee exemptions as part of efforts to improve the investment environment, Omar said (watch, runtime: 6:33). “The draft bill will have state-affiliated companies and private sector companies subject to the same treatment,” he said, adding that this will send a message of reassurance to foreign investors looking at potential projects here.

The nation’s talking heads marked the 10-year anniversary of the 30 June revolution, looking back on how events unfolded a decade ago. Ala Mas’ouleety (watch, runtime: 3:45) and Al Hayah Al Youm (watch, runtime: 26: 56) both had coverage.

On the violence in the West Bank:“There are attacks every day… Israel has let loose while ensuring that it is backed by the Biden administration,” Mahmoud Al Habbash, religious affairs advisor to the Palestinian president, told Ala Mas’ouleety (watch, runtime: 21:48). Kelma Akhira (watch, runtime: 0:50) and Al Hayah Al Youm (watch, runtime: 4:26) also covered the news. We have more in Around the World, below.
