Diplomacy was the belle of the ball on last night’s talk shows, with everyone and their mother talking about and dissecting President Abdel Fattah El Sisi’s visit yesterday to Baghdad to participate in an Iraqi summit. El Sisi used the occasion to talk talk bilateral relations with regional leaders and officials as well as with French President Emmanuel Macron. El Sisi also held his first one-on-one with Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani since the lifting of Egypt and the GCC’s 2017 blockade on Qatar. We have coverage in this morning’s news well, above.
