Trump says US will deal ‘directly’ with Iran in high-level meeting on Saturday
President Donald Trump on Monday said the U.S. will engage «directly» with Iran in a high-level meeting set to occur this coming Saturday.
«We have a very big meeting on Saturday, and we’re dealing with them directly,» Trump told reporters from the Oval Office while sitting next to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The announced meeting is the first known time the U.S. will directly engage with Iran since the previous Trump administration, when it withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018.

TRUMP, NETANYAHU TO MEET AT WHITE HOUSE AS ISRAEL SEEKS TARIFF RELIEF, DISCUSSIONS ON IRAN, GAZA HOSTAGES
«We’ll see what can happen. I think everybody agrees that doing a deal would be preferable to doing the obvious,» Trump said in reference to his threat last week in which he said he would «bomb» Iran if it didn’t enter talks to end its nuclear program.
«[That’s] not something that I want to be involved with, or frankly, that Israel wants to be involved with, if they can avoid it,» Trump continued. «We’re going to see if we can avoid it.
«It’s getting to be very dangerous territory,» Trump warned. «And hopefully those talks will be successful.»

EXPERTS WARN IRAN’S NUCLEAR DOUBLE-TALK DESIGNED TO BUY TIME, UNDERMINE US PRESSURE
The president refused to detail where the talks would take place or how they would differ from the JCPOA, saying only that they will be «different» and «stronger.»
Following the U.S. withdrawal from the agreement, the nuclear deal essentially collapsed despite the remaining signatories – which included the U.K., China, France, Russia and Germany – and Iran began rapidly developing its nuclear program.

Earlier this year, the U.N. nuclear watchdog warned that Tehran had amassed enough near-weapons-grade enriched uranium to build five nuclear weapons if the uranium were further enriched.
«I think if the talks aren’t successful with Iran… Iran is going to be in great danger,» Trump said Monday.
It is unclear if Israel, or any other nations, will be involved in the talks, though Netanyahu made clear Jerusalem is aligned with the U.S. in securing a deal to end Iran’s nuclear program.

«We’re both united in the goal that Iran does not ever get nuclear weapons, that it can be done diplomatically in a full way, the way it was done in Libya,» Netanyahu told reporters. «I think that would be a good thing.
«But whatever happens, we have to make sure that Iran does not have nuclear weapons,» he added.

Trump afirmó que los rehenes “serán liberados probablemente el lunes” y calificó el acuerdo entre Israel y Hamas como “paz en Medio Oriente”
El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, calificó el nuevo acuerdo entre Israel y Hamas como “paz en Medio Oriente”, durante una entrevista telefónica en vivo con el presentador de Fox News, Sean Hannity, el miércoles por la noche.
“El mundo entero se unió en torno a este acuerdo”, afirmó.
Trump señaló que la liberación de los rehenes capturados por el grupo terrorista Hamas se concretará en los próximos días. “Los rehenes serán liberados probablemente el lunes”, declaró. “Mientras hablamos, se realizan muchos esfuerzos para liberar a los rehenes”, mencionó.
Al ser consultado sobre las próximas fases del plan, el mandatario indicó: “Creo que veremos la reconstrucción de Gaza. Estamos formando un consejo, un Consejo de Paz, así creemos que se llamará”. Añadió que el organismo será “muy poderoso”, aunque no especificó cómo funcionará.
Trump relató además una conversación reciente con el primer ministro israelí. “Hablé con Bibi Netanyahu hace un rato y me dijo: ‘No puedo creerlo, ahora le caigo bien a todo el mundo’”, contó. “Le dije: ‘Israel no puede luchar contra el mundo, Bibi’”, agregó.
El presidente estadounidense afirmó también que “otros países en el Medio Oriente ayudarán a reconstruir Gaza”, aunque no precisó cuáles. “Creemos que Gaza será un lugar mucho más seguro y que se reconstruirá, y otros países de la zona contribuirán a ello, porque poseen una enorme riqueza y desean que eso suceda”, explicó. “Participaremos para ayudarles a lograr el éxito y a mantener la paz”, añadió.
El anuncio se produjo pocas horas después de que Trump confirmara la firma de la primera fase del acuerdo de paz para Gaza, elaborado con el apoyo de Egipto, Qatar, Turquía y Estados Unidos, y respaldado por la Organización de Naciones Unidas (ONU).
La primera fase del plan, que será firmada este jueves en Egipto, contempla que en las próximas 72 horas Hamas libere a unos 20 rehenes con vida y que el ejército israelí se retire del territorio palestino.
Durante la negociación en Egipto, el grupo terrorista presentó una lista de prisioneros palestinos que desea liberar de las cárceles israelíes en la primera fase de la tregua.
A cambio, Hamas liberará a los 47 rehenes restantes, tanto vivos como muertos, capturados en el ataque del 7 de octubre de 2023 contra Israel, que desencadenó la guerra.
El presidente estadounidense declaró previamente a la prensa que lo más probable es que viaje a Egipto en los próximos días. “No lo hemos decidido con exactitud. Probablemente iré a Egipto. Es allí donde todos están reunidos ahora mismo, y lo agradecemos mucho, pero estaré haciendo la ronda, como suele decirse”, dijo.
La propuesta de Trump fue apoyada públicamente por el primer ministro de Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, quien sin embargo matizó horas después que no respaldará la creación de un Estado palestino y que las tropas israelíes permanecerán desplegadas “en la mayoría” de Gaza, lo que generó dudas sobre la viabilidad de la aplicación del plan estadounidense.
La guerra comenzó el 7 de octubre de 2023, cuando milicianos de Hamas atacaron Israel y mataron a unas 1.200 personas, en su mayoría civiles, y secuestraron a 251. Como respuesta, Israel lanzó una campaña militar que devastó gran parte del enclave.
El Ministerio de Salud de Gaza, gestionado por Hamas y cuyas cifras son consideradas confiables por la ONU, reporta más de 67.000 palestinos fallecidos y cerca de 170.000 heridos, con la mitad de los muertos identificados como mujeres y niños.

The suspect behind last week’s deadly car and knife terror attack outside a synagogue in Manchester allegedly pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, authorities said.
Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, a British citizen of Syrian descent, allegedly called emergency dispatchers to claim responsibility for the attack before pledging allegiance to the Islamic State.
«We have conducted assessments across our systems, and I can reiterate that Al-Shamie had never been referred to the Prevent program, nor was otherwise known to Counter Terrorism Policing,» Assistant Chief Constable Rob Potts said Wednesday.

UK POLICE ACCIDENTALLY SHOT VICTIM WHILE RUSHING TO STOP SYNAGOGUE ATTACKER
The Prevent program is a U.K. government initiative aimed at offering individuals who are susceptible to radicalization proper interventions to stop them from becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism.
Head of Counter Terrorism Policing Laurence Taylor said on Oct. 3 that while Al-Shamie was not known to the counterterrorism team, he was on bail at the time of the attack after being arrested on suspicion of rape.
Potts said that police are now «more confident that he was influenced by extreme Islamist ideology, the 999 call forms part of this assessment.»
While Potts pointed to the call as evidence of Al-Shamie’s motivation, he stressed that authorities needed to look across all evidence gathered to determine the motive behind the attack.
«This assessment continues, and there may be further drivers and motivations identified,» Potts added.

Al-Shamie was shot by police outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue after the attack in which he rammed a car into pedestrians before attacking them with a knife. The attacker was wearing what appeared to be an explosive device, but Potts called it a «hoax device» and said it was later assessed and confirmed to be «non-viable.»
Two congregants, identified as Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, died in the attack, which took place on Yom Kippur, Judaism’s holiest day.
Police later said that it was likely one of the two victims was accidentally shot by officers who were rushing to stop the attack, as Al-Shamie did not have a gun on him. Reports indicate Daulby was the one shot.

Potts informed reporters on Wednesday that three people injured during the attack are still hospitalized.
While investigating whether Al-Shamie acted alone, police arrested three men and three women on suspicion of the «commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism,» The Associated Press reported.
The people arrested have not been identified and police have not revealed their ties, if any, to Al-Shamie. The AP reported that on Saturday a court gave police five more days to hold four of the suspects, while two, a man and a woman, were released without further action.

«I was just dealing with people from the Middle East, our people and other people, on the potential peace deal for the Middle East,» he said. «Peace for the Middle East. That’s a beautiful phrase, and we hope it’s going to come true, but it’s very close and they’re doing very well.»
TRUMP’S PEACE DEAL COULD END THE WAR IN GAZA OR NETANYAHU’S CAREER
Trump unveiled a 20-point plan to end the Gaza war on Sept. 29, when Benjamin Netanyahu visited the White House. The plan includes granting Hamas terrorists who give up their arms in favor of peace «amnesty,» establishing Gaza as a «deradicalized, terror-free zone,» and redeveloping the area so it no longer poses a threat to its neighbors and residents.
Trump warned Hamas that if it did not agree to the peace deal, the terrorists would face «massive bloodshed.»
Hamas announced Friday that it agreed to release all Israeli hostages, dead or alive, as part of Trump’s peace proposal.
