It was a diplomacy-heavy night on the airwaves as the nation’s talking heads zeroed in on President Abdel Fattah El Sisi’s meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan in Cairo yesterday.

Discussions between the pair were focused on the latest regional developments and threats of an escalation in regional hostilities, according to an Ittihadiya statement. “The Middle East is at a very delicate and dangerous juncture that requires exercising the highest levels of self-restraint and upholding the voice of reason and wisdom,” El Sisi said. De-escalating tensions requires coordinated efforts by key stakeholders and the international community to immediately implement a ceasefire in Gaza, he said. Both parties acknowledged the gravity of the regional situation and condemned Israel's escalatory policies. The meeting got airtime on Ala Mas’ouleety (watch, runtime: 6:21) and Salet El Tahrir (watch, runtime: 5:43).
