Weyerhaeuser Co. stock falls Monday, underperforms marketNone

The Israeli government confirmed on Monday that Omer Neutra, a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen, was killed during Hamas' attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Neutra, 21, was a tank platoon commander in the IDF. He was thought to be alive in captivity. His parents, Ronen and Orna Neutra, spent the last year campaigning for his release and the release of the remaining hostages thought to be held in Gaza. They spoke at the Republican National Convention in July, wrote op-eds, stayed in steady communication with the Biden Administration and the White House, and made regular media appearances, including with Scripps News . The whole time, they sought to pressure U.S. and Israeli leadership to resolve the hostage crisis. RELATED STORY | Families of Gaza hostages bring their message to both the current and upcoming White Houses "In the 423 days since October 7th, we expected our leaders to demonstrate the same courage displayed so bravely by Omer and rise to the occasion on behalf of those who were killed and kidnapped, just as our beloved Omer showed until the very end," Ronen and Orna Neutra wrote in a statement released Monday. "Leadership will only be revealed in actions and results going forward. We call upon the Israeli government to work with President Biden and President-elect Trump, to use all of their leverage and resources to return all 101 hostages — living and the deceased — to their families as soon as possible." A propaganda video released by Hamas Saturday showed Edan Alexander, an Israeli-American held hostage who was also captured while serving in the IDF. In the video, Alexander calls on Trump to keep negotiating for the freedom of the hostages remaining in Gaza. Trump on Monday demanded release of the remaining hostages, writing on Truth Social: "Please let this truth serve to represent that if the hostages are not released prior to January 20, 2025, the date that I proudly assume office as President of the United States, there will be all hell to pay in the Middle East, and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against humanity."

The Egyptian-Italian Business Forum will take place in Italy during the first quarter of 2025, according to an official announcement. Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade, Hassan El-Khatib, is expected to visit Italy to explore new opportunities for collaboration across multiple sectors. During a recent meeting with Italian Ambassador to Cairo, Michele Quaroni, El-Khatib discussed positive developments surrounding the launch of a RORO maritime transport line linking the ports of Damietta in Egypt and Trieste in Italy. The initiative is part of broader efforts to strengthen bilateral economic ties between the two nations. El-Khatib highlighted that the Ministry of Investment and Foreign Trade is promoting the RORO line through Egyptian commercial offices in Europe and the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI), aiming to facilitate business exchanges. The meeting also focused on potential collaboration in digitizing customs procedures, leveraging Italy’s advanced technologies in this field. Both parties discussed organizing joint training programs and the possibility of sending a delegation of Egyptian officials to Italy to learn from Italy’s experience in customs efficiency. El-Khatib emphasized that Egypt is working on significant reforms to streamline customs processes, aiming to reduce clearance times to just two days in 2025. This initiative is expected to improve trade flows, enhance Egypt’s standing in global trade indices, and support foreign business activity. Further discussions centered on expanding investment in Egypt’s pharmaceutical, medical device, and supplies sectors, with a view to meeting local demand and boosting exports. Ambassador Quaroni reiterated Italy’s commitment to enhancing economic relations with Egypt, noting growing interest from Italian companies in sectors such as vehicle manufacturing, recycling, and fuel production. The Ambassador confirmed that the upcoming visit of Minister El-Khatib will further strengthen ties and explore opportunities for joint investment projects. With trade between the two countries exceeding €6bn in 2023, Italy remains Egypt’s largest trading partner within the European Union. Italian investments in Egypt amounted to $3bn, spread across 1,288 companies, according to official data.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Wade Taylor IV scored 19 points, Zhuric Phelps hit a go-ahead 3-pointer during an 11-0 run and finished with 12 points, and 22nd-ranked Texas A&M beat Texas Tech 72-67 on Sunday in the first meeting of the former conference rivals since 2012. Phelps' 3 with 7 1/2 minutes left made it 54-52 and put the Aggies (8-2) ahead to stay. His step-back jumper after hard contact with Tech's Kevin Overton capped the game-turning spurt. Jace Carter scored 13 of his 16 points in the first half as Texas A&M won its fourth straight game. Chance McMillian had 23 points with five 3s for Tech (7-2). Overton scored 14 of his 17 points before halftime, when he hit four 3s. Texas Tech played its second game in a row without leading scorer and rebounder JT Toppin (18.6 ppg/11 rpg) because of what the school said is a lower-body injury for the 6-foot-9 forward. Texas A&M made all eight of its free throws in the final 27 seconds, four by Taylor, while Tech made three 3s in the final minute. Texas A&M led 23-12 in the first half on a 3-pointer by Carter, that opened a 45-second exchange of two 3s each by he and Overton. The second 3 by Overton started a 9-0 run that got the Red Raiders within 26-24. The Aggies and Red Raiders played at least twice annually between 1958-2012 while members of the old Southwest Conference and then the original Big 12 before Texas A&M went to the SEC. Their first non-conference meeting since 1953 was at Dickies Arena, a neutral site. Texas A&M plays No. 8 Purdue in Indianapolis on Sunday. Texas Tech hosts Oral Roberts on Dec. 16.
