It was a diplomacy-heavy night on the airwaves: The nation’s talking heads last night brought us coverage of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi’s time in China and a number of nations officials recognizing Palestine.

El Sisi in China: The president landed in Beijing yesterday and his schedule is packed during his time there, which includes talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss strengthening Egyptian-Chinese relations and cooperation across various fields. The two sides will also discuss a number of regional and international issues, including the war on Gaza. Ala Masouleety (watch, runtime: 3:23), Al Hayah Al Youm (watch, runtime: 5:58), and Masa’a DMC (watch, runtime: 7:01) had coverage.

Palestinian recognition: Ireland, Norway and Spain formally recognized the state of Palestine yesterday, a move that received coverage from Ala Masouleety (watch, runtime: 9:56) and Al Hayah Al Youm (watch, runtime: 1:35). “The decision came at the right time,” Irish Foreign Minister Micheal Martin told Ala Masouleety (watch, runtime: 3:35), calling on EU countries to follow suit.
