Abdullah Albadri, 34, a stateless Bedoon man born in Kuwait, has been found guilty of preparing a terrorist attack after trying to scale the Israeli embassy fence in London on 28 April 2025 carrying two knives. He had arrived in the UK by small boat just 16 days earlier — his second illegal crossing in four years. He told officers he wanted to stop Israel's war in Gaza and messaged his mother saying he had chosen the path of martyrdom. The jury at the Old Bailey deliberated for nearly 14 hours before convicting him by majority verdict.
Abdullah Albadri, a stateless Kuwaiti of Arabian Bedoon heritage, is on trial at the Old Bailey for attempting to enter the Israeli embassy in London armed with two knives. Albadri, who entered Britain twice on small boats from France - first in 2021 and again in April 2025 - claims he was not acting for terrorist purposes and had 'good reason' for carrying the knives. He told jurors he fled Kuwait after five years in prison for distributing flyers and sought refuge in the UK for the 'prosperity, freedom and human rights' he witnessed on television.
