Israel, Hamas meet in Egypt to revive Trump peace plan ahead of Oct 7 anniversary

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Chief negotiators from Israel and Hamas convened in Egypt on Monday to hash out details on President Donald Trump’s peace plan to end the yearslong war and return the 48 hostages still held.
The talks come one day ahead of the second anniversary of the Hamas attacks on Israel, when some 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were dragged into the Gaza Strip, where dozens of dead and alive remain hostage.
Egypt announced on Saturday that the high-level negotiations would occur Monday in the coast resort city of Sharm El Sheikh, located in the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, after Hamas leadership appeared to accept part of the 20-point blueprint.

TRUMP WARNS OF ‘MASSIVE BLOODSHED’ IF HAMAS FAILS TO AGREE TO PEACE DEAL: ‘MOVE FAST’
Trump over the weekend urged the negotiators involved in the indirect talks to «move fast,» but he signaled that he viewed Hamas’ response as positive and called on Israel to «immediately stop the bombing of Gaza.»
Israel’s military operations were reported to have been reduced over the weekend, though a Reuters report citing medics said that 36 people, including children, were killed in a series of strikes across the enclave that hit residential buildings.
Reports have suggested that Hamas remains skeptical over the demand that it completely disarm, and lacks confidence that Israel will cease its military ambitions in the Gaza Strip following the return of all hostages.
The plan’s call to have all hostages returned within a three-day period has also apparently been flagged by Hamas as unrealistic, particularly when it comes to returning the bodies of the deceased, as some are believed to be buried under rubble.

TRUMP ANNOUNCES ISRAEL AGREES TO GAZA ‘INITIAL WITHDRAWAL LINE’ AS ‘3,000 YEAR CATASTROPHE’ NEARS END
Despite the uncertainty that surrounds the return of the hostages and how quickly this could happen, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum wrote a letter to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee on Monday, nominating the president for his involvement in attempting to end the war and return the hostages.
The U.S. 20-point plan, championed by Western and Arab leaders and agreed to last week by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, would not only end the war, but would require the return of all hostages, dead and alive, within 72 hours of Hamas also agreeing to the deal.
The blueprint calls for the military withdrawal of Israeli forces and the complete disarmament of Hamas.
Members of the terrorist group will also be granted amnesty in exchange for their disarmament and a path to leave Gaza for a third-party nation who is willing to accept them.

Officials from Israel’s spy agencies Mossad and Shin Bet, Netanyahu’s foreign policy adviser Ophir Falk and hostages coordinator Gal Hirsch, were dispatched to attend the Monday meetings.
Hamas’ delegation was led by group leader Khalil Al-Hayya, who survived an Israeli airstrike in Doha, Qatar last month which targeted top Hamas officials, reported Reuters.

Reporter’s Notebook: Hamas Oct 7 attacks survivor recalls Gaza captivity 2 years later

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Exactly two years ago, Hamas terrorists stormed the Israeli border from Gaza, killing young families living on a small kibbutz and hunting down young people attending an outdoor music festival. The attackers killed more than 1,200 Israelis and took 251 hostages.
Fox’s Trey Yingst was on the scene several days after the massacre in Beeri. This is what he saw:
«The kitchen floors are stained with blood. People were home at the time. It was early in the morning on Saturday when Hamas militants stormed into their homes. The soldiers here tell us they found bodies that appeared to be executed. People with hands tied behind their backs, mothers holding their small children, bodies decapitated. Pure horror in this small town,» Yingst reported.

Forty-eight hostages remain in Gaza. Twenty are believed to be alive. Aviva Siegel was held for 51 days, while her husband, Keith, was held for more than 400.
«When they came in to kidnap us, they shot us. And one of the bullets hit Keith. And it didn’t hit me because I was lucky, but it could have been different. And we were taken underneath the ground and we just didn’t have any air to breathe. And I really felt that it’s gonna be my last hours of my life,» Siegel told Fox News on the second anniversary of the Oct. 7 attacks.
She remembers arriving in Gaza and seeing Palestinian families cheering and jeering at the wounded hostages.

«Everybody was just waiting for us. They knew we were coming. And we were taken immediately underneath the ground. And I’ll never forget the picture that I’ve got in my head of the terrorist, telling me to come down this ladder. It’s very narrow to go underneath the ground. I’m shaking. I’ll never forget his smile,» Siegel said on the second anniversary of the attacks and the start of her captivity.

Her husband Keith was kept in solitary confinement for six months.
«I was moved 13 times in 51 days while I was there. While Keith stayed there for 484 days, we were tortured, we were starved. They used to eat in front of us. I lost 10 kilos. Keith came home looking like a skeleton. He was just so thin. I couldn’t walk when I came back. I was so ill,» Aviva said.
Tens of thousands of Gazans have been killed in the aftermath by the Israeli military, which now controls 80% of the Gaza Strip. Israel says it does not target civilians but more than 90% of Gaza is now destroyed.

«I’m a witness to the Hamas terrorist touching the girls and doing whatever they wanted. I’m witness of the Hamas terrorists beating one of the girls that was with us and threatening her that they’re gonna kill her just because they thought she was lying,» Siegel said. «For me, it was like I was killed. For me not to be able to help them and to help Keith when he was tortured was the worst thing that I could go through. It was worse than when I was tortured. And I was tortured. I was pulled by my hair. I was pushed. I was starved. I was laughed at. I was threatened. I went to hell.»

Atacaron al presidente de Ecuador en medio de una protesta indígena

El presidente de Ecuador, Daniel Noboa, resultó ileso tras ser atacado a balazos el auto en el que viajaba el martes por el sur del país en medio de protestas indígenas contra su gobierno. Lo informó la ministra de Ambiente y Energía, Inés Manzano.
“Aparecieron 500 personas y le estuvieron lanzando piedras (a la caravana) y, obviamente, también hay signos de bala en el carro del presidente”, dijo Manzano a la prensa.

Además, aseguró que el mandatario salió ileso. La caravana presidencial fue atacada cuando se trasladaba hacia la localidad andina de Cañar (sur) y luego Noboa participó de un acto público.
Hoy se cumple el día 16 de las protestas indígenas contra el alza del diésel y otros reclamos.
Videos difundidos por la presidencia muestran la escena desde el interior de uno de los vehículos cuando varios objetos chocan contra los vidrios y alguien al interior grita “agachen la cabeza”.

Otras imágenes del exterior muestran a un grupo de manifestantes, algunos de ellos indígenas con trajes tradicionales, que lanzan piedras y palos contra la caravana que pasa por la carretera seguida de una tanqueta y en medio del sonido de sirenas.
Los vehículos fueron atacados cuando se trasladaban hacia la localidad andina de Cañar, en el sur del país. Luego Noboa participó de un acto público en Cuenca.
“Un poco de vándalos”
Poco después, Noboa habló en un acto en la ciudad andina de Cuencia y dijo que no permitirá que “un poco de vándalos” le impidan trabajar.
En un discurso ante estudiantes, mencionó las ventajas del bachillerato técnico y la importancia de la visión moderna para informarse y debatir con miras a enfrentar desafíos.

“Hoy es el momento de optar por el futuro que queremos para nuestro país. Hoy es el momento de luchar por el desarrollo, pero hacerlo de una manera pacífica, de una manera inteligente y de una manera colectiva”, dijo.
Además, afirmó: “No sigan los malos ejemplos como los que en el camino nos querían parar para que no esté yo presente en este evento con ustedes y trataron de agredirnos”.

“Esas agresiones no se aceptan en el nuevo Ecuador, la ley aplica para todos”, dijo. Por ello, “no vamos a permitir que un poco de vándalos eviten que nosotros trabajemos por ustedes”, subrayó.
En videos que circulan en redes sociales se observa cuando manifestantes lanzan piedras contra la caravana presidencial y dañan varios vehículos.
Cuál es el origen de las protestas
El detonante de las protestas indígenas fue la eliminación, el 12 de septiembre, del subsidio al diésel, que elevó de 1,80 a 2,80 dólares el galón (3,78 litros) de ese combustible.
Los indígenas exigen restituir el subsidio, pero también bajar en tres puntos el impuesto al valor agregado (IVA) hasta el 12 %.
Ahora, como plataforma de su protesta, incorporaron su negativa a la consulta popular, prevista para el próximo 16 de noviembre en la que se preguntará sobre la posible instalación de una Asamblea Constituyente para redactar una nueva Constitución.
Noboa aseguró que el dinero que antes se destinaba el subsidio al diésel se entrega ahora de forma directa, a través de compensaciones e incentivos, a los sectores más vulnerables, y ya no se desvía a grupos delincuenciales.
“Hoy estamos golpeando al narcotráfico, a los traficantes de combustibles, a todos esos que le buscan el mal al Ecuador”, dijo Noboa en un discurso en la comunidad Sigsihuayco, en Cañar.
Los cortes de vías mantienen bloqueada la provincia andina de Imbabura, donde varios ciudadanos participaron en marchas en defensa de su libertad para trabajar. Los manifestantes impiden en ciertas ciudades que abran sus comercios, mientras locales como restaurantes y hoteles reportan pérdidas por cancelaciones de reservas de turistas y la falta de productos
