Blinken’s meeting with El Sisi to push for a Gaza ceasefire dominated the airwaves

Diplomacy takes center stage: The nation’s talking heads covered President Abdel Fattah El Sisi’s meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken yesterday to discuss ongoing efforts to secure a ceasefire in Gaza, the release of hostages, and Egypt’s initiatives to deliver humanitarian aid.

Blinken blamed Hamas for delaying the ceasefire, stating that it is the only party that has not yet agreed to Biden’s proposal, before leaving Egypt for Tel Aviv, Lamees El Hadidi highlighted on Kelma Akhira (watch, runtime: 4:36).

But not everyone agrees, including Ala Masouleety’s Ahmed Moussa argued, who argued that “Hamas is not the problem. The problem lies with Israel. Netanyahu does not want a ceasefire. The US should pressure Netanyahu to agree to the American initiative and other proposals,” (watch, runtime: 3:38).
