Kuwaiti man jailed in UK for Israeli embassy attack plot

In October 2026, a Kuwaiti man named Abdullah Albadri was jailed in the United Kingdom for planning a knife attack on the Israeli embassy in London. He received a life sentence with a minimum term of 20 years. Albadri was described in the headlines as a failed asylum seeker.

Separately, a UK security adviser visited Israel in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent the closure of a consulate in East Jerusalem. The UK threatened to expel Israeli diplomats over the planned closure.
