The ongoing violence against Palestinians in Jerusalem reigned supreme on the airwaves last night ahead of a planned Arab League meeting on the subject scheduled for tomorrow, Kelma Akhira’s Lamees El Hadidi noted (watch, runtime: 3:58). Tunisia, meanwhile, is pushing the UN Security Council to hold an emergency meeting on the violence, Ala Mas’ouleety’s Ahmed Moussa said (watch, runtime: 1:50).

If it smells like ethnic cleansing, and sounds like ethnic cleansing… Israel is trying to impose de facto control over the entirety of East Jerusalem by forcefully removing Palestinian residents from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah, Assistant Secretary-General of the Arab League Hossam Zaki told Moussa (watch, runtime: 3:24). The move could be designed to put Israel in a position of even greater power if the Biden administration pushes Israel and Palestine to return to the negotiating tables, El Hadidi said. The host also suggested that this is also a tactic from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to rally political support from the far-right as he struggles to form a government (watch, runtime: 2:14).

Meanwhile, Lamees called on Egyptians to get their covid-19 vaccinations, reminding her viewers that reaching a certain level of vaccine coverage is the only way to safely return to life as normal (watch, runtime: 0:44). Egypt is already lagging behind many countries in rolling out the vaccines and all jabs being administered here have already been administered en masse elsewhere in the world, meaning we have a pretty clear picture of their effects, manager of Vacsera’s allergy center Amgad El Haddad told Lamees (watch, runtime: 6:38).
