Secret Service Arrests Man for Climbing Fence Near White House During Netanyahu Visit

On Monday afternoon, a man was arrested by the U.S. Secret Service after climbing the fence on the southeast side of the U.S. Treasury Building near the White House for unlawful entry. The individual, dressed in a blazer, tie, and reflective sunglasses, was taken into custody without any impact on protective operations and transported to the Metropolitan Police Department's 2nd District for processing. The incident coincided with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the White House, where he met with President Trump to discuss a 20-point peace proposal concerning the Israel-Hamas conflict. President Trump described the day as historic and optimistic about the peace plan, which includes an immediate ceasefire, Hamas disarmament, and Israeli withdrawal, pending final agreements with Netanyahu, Arab leaders, and Hamas. The man reportedly attempted to impersonate a Secret Service agent, raising concerns about his intentions and mental state. The event underscores ongoing security vigilance amid high-profile diplomatic activities at the White House.
