Walid Saadaoui, 38, and Amar Hussein, 52 , were convicted at Preston Crown Court after investigators uncovered their plan to smuggle automatic weapons and ammunition into the UK. Authorities revealed that the men intended to launch a gun rampage targeting mass gatherings of Jewish people.

Trump and Netanyahu Face High-Stakes White House Talks Amid Gaza War Pressure

 

US President Donald Trump speaks as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu waves following a meeting in the White House, in Washington, US, April 7, 2025.


U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are set to meet at the White House today for critical talks on the nearly two-year war in Gaza. The meeting comes as international pressure mounts on Israel to agree to a ceasefire and as Washington pushes a new 21-point peace plan aimed at ending the conflict.

Trump has promised “something special” and insists a breakthrough is within reach, citing support from Arab and Muslim states for the U.S.-backed proposal. The plan reportedly calls for a permanent ceasefire, the release of hostages, and a framework for Gaza’s post-war governance.

Netanyahu, however, has signaled caution. While praising Trump as Israel’s closest ally, he has expressed reservations about elements of the plan, particularly regarding the role of Palestinian authorities in Gaza and the prospect of a future Palestinian state.

On the ground, Israeli forces continue their offensive in Gaza City, intensifying a humanitarian crisis that has drawn condemnation from Western allies, several of whom recently recognized Palestinian statehood in defiance of Israeli objections.

The White House meeting marks Netanyahu’s fourth visit since Trump returned to office, underscoring both the urgency of the conflict and the strain on Israel’s international standing. Whether today’s talks yield a concrete path to peace—or deepen existing divides—remains uncertain.
