As Trump’s Gaza deal nears, family warns Israel not to free another Sinwar
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
As President Donald Trump moves to finalize his 20-point plan to end the Gaza war, Israel faces a pivotal decision that could reshape the conflict’s aftermath. The framework envisions a phased Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, the return of all hostages, and a major prisoner exchange. In return, Hamas would commit to disarmament and allow a technocratic transitional authority to manage Gaza’s reconstruction.
Part of the agreement involves releasing hundreds of convicted Palestinian terrorists, a clause that has already triggered backlash from the families of victims.
Dr. Michael Milshtein, head of the Moshe Dayan Forum at Tel Aviv University and one of Israel’s foremost experts on Hamas, told Fox News Digital that the list of roughly 250 prisoners contains names that represent what he called «a real strategic danger.»
TRUMP UNVEILS 20-POINT PLAN TO SECURE PEACE IN GAZA, INCLUDING GRANTING SOME HAMAS MEMBERS ‘AMNESTY

«These are not low-level activists,» Milshtein said. «Among them are people who built power and influence inside prison. When released, they will return as leaders.»
He cited several examples that, he said, demonstrate the risk of past exchanges. Among the prisoners now under discussion are Abbas al-Sayed, convicted for the 2002 Park Hotel bombing in Netanya that killed 30 people; Ibrahim Hamed, former Hamas military commander in the West Bank, serving more than 40 life sentences; Abdullah Barghouti, who produced explosives for a series of large-scale suicide bombings and Hassan Salameh, convicted for orchestrating multiple bus attacks in the 1990s.
Ibrahim Hamed, a former head of the Hamas terrorist movement in the West Bank, looks on as he arrives for sentencing at the Ofer military court near Ramallah, West Bank, on July 1, 2012. The Israeli military court sentenced Hamed to 54 life terms after convicting him of ordering attacks that killed dozens of Israelis, the army said.
«These are people with dozens of life sentences,» Milshtein explained. «We’ve already seen what happens when such figures are freed. Many of those who carried out the Oct. 7 massacre were prisoners released in the 2011 Gilad Shalit deal.»
ISRAELI VICTIMS OF TERROR CONCERNED WITH MURDERERS’ RELEASE FROM PRISON, RELIEVED 7 HOSTAGES BACK HOME
Milshtein noted that several recently released prisoners have quickly rejoined Hamas’s leadership abroad. He pointed to Abdel Nasser Issa, a Hamas operative convicted in 1995 who was released earlier this year and soon relocated to Turkey, where he began appearing in podcasts as part of the group’s senior political echelon. «That is the model,» Milshtein said. «They enter prison as operatives and emerge as decision-makers.»
Among the most concerning names, he added, is Jamal Al-Hur, who he described as «one of the five most dangerous.» Al-Hur, deeply connected to Hamas’s hierarchy, has served nearly three decades in prison and now acts as a key liaison between jailed operatives and the group’s external leadership. «He didn’t enter as a leader but became one inside,» Milshtein said. «If released, he will re-establish himself quickly—just as others did before him.»

The Edri family’s warning
The inclusion of Al-Hur on the draft list has renewed anguish for the family of Sharon Edri, the Israeli soldier he helped kidnap, torture, and murder in 1996. Al-Hur was also convicted for the 1997 Apropo Café bombing in Tel Aviv that killed 13 civilians. Twice before, his name appeared on proposed release lists and was removed after public pressure.
«I know what it’s like not to know where your brother is for seven months,» said Danielle Edry Karten, Edri’s sister, who lives in New York. «There’s nothing that makes me happier than knowing families will soon be reunited with the hostages. But this man shouldn’t be released—not because of my brother alone, but because of the danger he still poses.»
Sharon Edri is seen here with his sister, Danielle Edri Karten. Edri Karten opposes the release of her brother’s killer.
«He kidnapped, mutilated, tortured my uncle,» said Izzy Karten, Edri’s nephew, in an interview with Fox News Digital from New York. «He went to jail, was released, and went on to commit the Apropo Café bombing. Later, he helped organize the kidnapping of the three boys that started the 2014 war. Now he’s a senior Hamas leader inside prison—that’s why we call him the next Sinwar.»

Karten added: «We’re not against the peace deal. We’re praying for the hostages to come home. We just need to make sure they don’t trade them for the worst of the worst.»
ISRAEL’S ARMY WILL ‘ADVANCE READINESS’ FOR FIRST PHASE OF TRUMP PLAN TO RELEASE HOSTAGES
The family launched a new petition this week calling on the Israeli government to block Al-Hur’s release and to bar any future swaps involving convicted murderers.

At Sharon Edri’s funeral nearly three decades ago, Netanyahu vowed to the family, «We are telling the killers—you won’t break the people and the family. We will not forget him and your daughter Hana. We will end the terror and will bring peace.» The family now fears that the promise may be undone.
The Nukhba dilemma
Beyond the list of notorious prisoners, another issue threatens to derail the negotiations: Hamas’s demand to release about 90 members of its elite «Nukhba» force, the commandos who spearheaded the most horrific atrocities on the Oct. 7 attack on Israeli communities.
Milshtein, who visited the section of Ramla Prison where some of these terrorists are held, said they remain unrepentant. «I spoke with them,» he told Fox News Digital. «They are fanatical—completely committed. They show no remorse. The only thing they regret is not having killed more people.»

He described the Nukhba detainees as the most ideologically extreme and operationally capable among Hamas’ ranks. «They are like a special-forces division with a radical worldview,» he said. «Releasing them would be like setting loose the people who planned and executed the worst day in Israel’s history.»

Despite the risks, Milshtein acknowledged that Israel may have no alternative. «It’s a terrible dilemma,» he said. «But strategically, this may be one of those bitter compromises Israel will have to make to bring its citizens home.»

Violencia en el fútbol de Maldonado: un jugador fue imputado tras darle cabezazo a juez que le voló los dientes
El fútbol en el departamento de Maldonado volvió a ser noticia en Uruguay por terminar con incidentes.
Hace unos 20 días, un partido de la tercera división de Maldonado terminó con graves incidentes tras el golpe de cabeza de uno de los futbolistas de San Lorenzo contra el árbitro del partido Alexis Ferreira. El juez terminó con heridas en su boca y hasta perdió piezas dentales, al tiempo que el agresor debió ir a declarar este lunes a la Fiscalía y probablemente termine imputado por la agresión.
Ferreira, el árbitro del encuentro, contó entonces a la radio local Cadena del Mar que la agresión se dio al final del partido, después de que decidiera expulsar a dos jugadores que se acercaron a insultarlo. Durante el partido el ambiente ya había estado espeso: uno de los jugadores se había ido encima de él luego de una tarjeta amarilla. “Perdí piezas dentales, tuve mucha sangre y me sentí mareado. Fue muy fuerte”, señaló.
El agresor fue imputado este lunes por el delito de lesiones personales. Como medidas cautelares, se le impuso la prohibición de salir del país, de participar en actividades deportivas y de acercarse a menos de 500 metros de la víctima durante 120 días.
La abogada del futbolista, Karen Pintos, expresó tras la audiencia que su defendido “está dispuesto a colaborar” con los gastos del tratamiento al que debió someterse el árbitro, que sufrió una fractura nasal y perdió dos piezas dentales. Según consignó FM Gente, Pintos señaló que su cliente le pidió disculpas al agredido, algo que fue “bien recibido”.
Tras el fallo judicial, la Asociación de Árbitros de Maldonado Capital emitió un comunicado en el que expresa su conformidad con el fallo. “Consideramos que esta resolución marca un antes y un después para todo lo que concierne al deporte”, dice el texto.
Este fin de semana, en tanto, otra vez se viralizaron imágenes violentas: los jugadores terminaron arriba del techo de los vestuarios, tirándose palas y otros objetos.
El video fue difundido por el medio local FM Gente, que informó que los incidentes se dieron cuando terminó el encuentro entre Atlético Fernandino y San Carlos, que finalizó 2-2. Al momento en que los policías llegaron hasta el lugar, ya no quedaba nadie y tampoco se presentó ninguna denuncia.
En las imágenes se aprecia cómo los futbolistas treparon hasta el techo de los vestuarios, mientras desde abajo voló un balde, que no llegó a impactar en ninguno de los presentes. Otro de los jugadores arrojó un objeto que no se logra identificar en el video, mientras que uno de ellos tiró una pala de construcción, que tampoco llegó a agredir a ninguno de los presentes.
Otros de los asistentes observaban los disturbios detrás de un muro.
Este partido era por la Liga Mayor de Maldonado. Lo que generó los incidentes fue que algunos futbolistas que estaban en la cancha arremetieron contra los suplentes, que gritaban contra este equipo, informó el noticiero Telemundo de Canal 12. Las palas que se ven en el video estaban en el lugar porque hay obras de remodelación en la cancha.
Los vecinos y quienes estaban en la cancha fueron los que llamaron a la Policía, ante el temor que tenían de que la pelea terminara en una batalla campal. Sin embargo, los efectivos no arrestaron a nadie porque cuando llegaron hasta allí ya se habían ido todos.
Como no hubo denuncia policial, no se inició una investigación penal por estos incidentes. La Fiscalía uruguaya tiene la potestad de actuar de oficio ante situaciones de este tipo, pero hasta ahora no ha informado si lo hará.
En el fútbol de Maldonado piden una mayor presencia policial ante los incidentes que se han reiterado en las últimas jornadas. Incluso pretenden que esa presencia se concrete dentro de las canchas.

Kamala Harris-endorsed candidate in hot seat for million-dollar DC home hundreds of miles outside district
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: Former Vice President Kamala Harris’ pick for Massachusetts’ 6th Congressional District, Dan Koh, is facing scrutiny for owning a million-dollar home hundreds of miles from the district in Washington, D.C.
Koh, who held several senior roles in former President Joe Biden’s White House, is running in a crowded race to replace Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton, who is running for the Senate. He has received the endorsement of Harris, who called him a «fighter» who «knows how to get things done.»
Though running in a suburban Massachusetts district, Koh and his wife own a $1.3 million home in a swanky neighborhood by Capitol Hill, which they purchased in 2022, according to the website for the D.C. Office of Tax and Revenue.
The two also own a home in Andover, Massachusetts, which sits within the 6th Congressional District, according to the North Essex Registry of Deeds. The Massachusetts home was purchased in 2019 for $810,000.

Amy Carnevale, chair of the Massachusetts Republican Party, knocked Koh over the home, telling Fox News Digital that «living full-time in D.C. with a no-show house in Massachusetts seems to be a family tradition amongst MassDems.»
She also criticized another Massachusetts Democrat, Sen. Ed Markey, who she said is «known in the Bay State as the ‘Senator from Chevy Chase,’» because he «is rarely seen in his alleged hometown in Massachusetts.»
«Dan Koh is now looking to follow in that tradition. What a shame for actual residents of Massachusetts who deserve better,» added Carnevale.
In response, a spokesperson for Koh’s campaign told Fox News Digital that «Dan lives full-time at his home in Andover, which he and his wife have owned for over 6 years.»

The spokesperson said that Koh «lived in D.C. during his time as a senior official in the White House during the Biden-Harris administration with his family.»
Tax documents available on the district’s Office of Tax and Revenue’s website show that Koh and his wife still own the D.C. home as of August.
Harris endorsed Koh on Oct. 28, saying: «During our time in the White House, I saw Dan’s steadfast drive to make life better — and more affordable — for working people.»
«He knows how to get things done, will be the fighter you deserve, and is ready on day one,» said Harris, adding, «I’m proud to endorse him and encourage everyone in Massachusetts’ 6th District to support his campaign.»

A statement by Koh’s campaign said that he is among the first candidates Harris has endorsed in the 2025-26 campaign cycle, which the campaign said demonstrates «the critical importance of electing a strong, effective Democratic leader to represent the 6th District.»
Koh said he is «honored that Vice President Harris has endorsed our campaign for Massachusetts’ 6th District,» adding, «I personally witnessed the Vice President’s tireless dedication to the American people every day in the administration.»

He added, «I’ll be ready on day one to bring the same brand of leadership to Capitol Hill, getting to work to deliver results for families of our commonwealth and our country.»
