All eyes on Riyadh: The nation’s talking heads — for the second consecutive night — focused on the extraordinary Arab-Islamic summit held yesterday in Riyadh that was attended by President Abdel Fattah El Sisi. The summit concluded with a unified call from 50 countries for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon and a reinforced commitment to Palestinian statehood based on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, urging the international community to enforce relevant UN resolutions.

Regional violations under scrutiny: Arab and Islamic nations have been documenting Israeli legal and humanitarian violations in Lebanese and Palestinian territories, particularly in the West Bank and Gaza, according to El Hekayah's Amr Adib (watch, runtime: 5:31). He emphasized that the resolution to the current conflict lies in reaching regional peace through a two-state solution, given the ineffectiveness of recent military operations. “For the first time, there is Arab and Islamic consensus to approach the UN General Assembly to suspend Israel's membership as a new pressure card,” Adib commented (watch, runtime: 6:47).

The summit received attention across the talks hows, including Azza Mostafa on her show Al Sa’aa Al Sadesa’ (watch, runtime: 5:02) and Ahmed Moussa on Ala Mas'ouleety (watch, runtime: 2:07:04).
