Yesterday, the BBC Arabic aired the live statement of the Palestinian ambassador to the UN. I walked into the hall, and could see through a doorway another TV open to Al Arabiya, which was also showing the live briefing.
Then today, we were watching a little bit of Al Arabiya after the 72-hour humanitarian truce collapsed. They showed many pictures of injured Palestinian children and their upset parents, and along the bottom of the screen they had a news reel that mentioned the number of dead Israeli soldiers. I'm not entirely sure, but I think they mostly put the cause of the collapse of the humanitarian truce on Hamas.
Then I looked in briefly on the BBC Arabic again. Their top story was about Palestine, but then they also talked about fighting in Tunisia/Libya, and a pair of auctioned Mohamed-Ali boxing gloves that sold for almost half a million dollars.
