Israel’s war on Gaza remains the focus of the nation’s talk shows, as another aid convoy entered the territory amid continuing airstrikes.
New aid enters Gaza: Twenty trucks loaded with food, water, and medicine entered Gaza on Monday, Palestinian Rafah crossing official Wael Abu Mohsen, told Kelma Akhira, noting that the enclave needs around 100 trucks per day (watch, runtime: 4:52). The deliveries of aid received coverage on every channel, including on Masaa DMC (watch, runtime: 5:07), Al Hayah Al Youm (watch, runtime: 7:30), El Hekaya (watch, runtime: 3:22) and Ala Masouleety (watch, runtime: 15:30).
“What is happening in Gaza [is like] Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but filmed in slow motion,” Amr Adib said on El Hekaya, describing the intensification of bombardment on Gaza on Sunday night that killed at least 600 people (watch, runtime: 3:45).
Egypt mediates hostage release: The talk shows highlighted the release of two hostages by Hamas following mediation efforts by Egypt, including on Ala Masouleety (watch, runtime: 1:43), Kelma Akhira (watch, runtime: 00:57), Al Hayah Al Youm (watch, runtime: 7:04), and Masaa DMC (watch, runtime: 4:55). Hamas spokesperson Taher El Nono told El Hekaya that the release of further hostages will depend how talks unfold (watch, runtime: 1:56).
El Sisi receives US Senate delegation: President Abdel Fattah El Sisi met with a delegation from the US Senate led by Senator Lindsey Graham yesterday to discuss the situation in Israel and Palestine. The meeting got extensive coverage on the airwaves, including from Al Hayah Al Youm (watch, runtime: 4:26), Masaa DMC (watch, runtime: 4:00), and Ala Masouleety (watch, runtime: 3:00).
Also on talk shows last night:
- How is the war in Gaza affecting the economic crisis in Egypt? El Hekaya’s AmrAdib called on officials to stand before the House to clarify where we stand with our debt obligations, initiatives to reduce the price of food commodities, the status of our FX reserves, and the rise of the parallel market for greenbacks (watch, runtime: 3:02 | 1:22).
