Ismail Haniyeh’s death was the main talking point on the airwaves

One topic dominated the airwaves last night: The assassination of Hamas head Ismail Haniyeh was the main talking point on the airwaves last night, with the nation’s talking heads fixating on the details of the incident and its potential implications for the region as a whole. The topic received coverage from Ala Mas’ouleety (watch, runtime: 1:00:15), Yahduth Fi Masr (watch, runtime: 8:12), and Salat El Tahrir (watch, runtime: 9:12). Hamas announced Haniyeh’s death following an Israeli airstrike yesterday morning, just hours after he attended the inauguration ceremony of Iran’s new president Masoud Pezeshkian.

Egypt warned of regional escalations, in a Foreign Ministry statement that also warned against “the consequences of the policy of assassinations, violating the sovereignty of other states, and fueling conflict in the region.”
