A man who tried to break into the Israeli embassy in London to carry out a knife attack has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 20 years. Abdullah Albadri was carrying two knives when he attempted to get inside the embassy in Kensington on 28 April 2025, before being detained by armed police. The 34-year-old from Kuwait had arrived in the UK on a small boat 16 days earlier. He was previously found guilty by a majority verdict of preparation of terrorist acts and possession of two bladed articles. Albadri's trial at the Old Bailey heard how he was motivated to plot the attack by the death of Palestinians in Gaza.

Protesters have gathered outside the Israeli embassy in Bangkok to protest against offensive behaviour by Israeli tourists, and alleged inappropriate land acquisition strategies. The Trump loyalty test: Will his supporters ever disagree with him?
