Amr Adib continued to voice his displeasure over the state’s decision to remove 716 names from the lists of terrorist entities and individuals, arguing that “99.9% of Egyptians oppose this decision” on his show El Hekaya (watch, runtime: 18:29).

“What happened yesterday and today is a test of this nation’s awareness. The state has its priorities, but the people have their loyalties,” Adib said. The host argued that the population as a whole kicked out the Muslim Brotherhood in the June 30 Revolution and that “it’s either us or them in this country.”

ALSO- The search for 16 missing people in the Red Sea received wall-to-wall coverage across the channels, with Red Sea Governor Amr Hanafi telling Amr Adib that "immediately after the incident, we coordinated with the Egyptian navy and air force to launch rescue efforts and search for survivors” (watch, runtime: 15:26). Hanafi was also keen to state that “the boat was equipped with all safety measures, underwent inspection last March, and had a valid license for a year with no technical faults.”
