NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Two people were stabbed in north London on Wednesday in an attack that police have now formally declared a terrorist incident, prompting a major emergency response and an ongoing counterterrorism investigation.
Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor, the Metropolitan Police’s counterterrorism chief, said the attack has been officially classified as terrorism as investigators work to determine the motive and whether the Jewish community was deliberately targeted.
Officers were called to Highfield Avenue in the Barnet borough at about 11:16 a.m. following reports of multiple stabbings, according to the Metropolitan Police. Local and armed officers responded alongside the London Ambulance Service.
A 45-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and remains in custody, police said. Authorities are working to determine his nationality and background.
Two men, ages 76 and 34, were treated at the scene for stab wounds before being taken to a hospital, where they remain and are «being looked after,» Taylor said.

Police said the suspect also attacked responding officers before he was subdued with a Taser. No officers were injured.
Counterterrorism officers are leading the investigation, working with security services to establish the full circumstances and develop a complete intelligence picture, Taylor said.
«Whilst I must stress this investigation is at an early stage, we are working quickly to understand exactly what happened,» Counter Terrorism Policing head Laurence Taylor said.

The stabbing unfolded in the Barnet area, near Golders Green, which is known for its large Jewish community. Authorities have indicated the case is being treated as a potentially antisemitic incident, though motive has not been confirmed.
The stabbing unfolded in the Barnet area, near Golders Green, which is known for its large Jewish community, and police said one line of inquiry is whether the attack deliberately targeted London’s Jewish community, though a motive has not been confirmed.
A statement posted on X by Shomrim, a volunteer neighborhood watch group in Orthodox Jewish communities, said a man was seen «armed with a knife» on Golders Green Road and was detained by members before police arrived. The group claimed the suspect attempted to target Jewish members of the public — a detail police have not independently confirmed.

Detective Chief Superintendent Luke Williams said officers «swiftly Tasered and arrested the suspect before he could cause further harm,» adding that investigators are «considering all possible motives» and will maintain a visible police presence in the area.

Williams said police are «aware of the significant distress and concern this incident is likely to cause,» and will remain in the area to carry out inquiries and reassure residents.
The attack comes amid heightened concern over antisemitic incidents across the United Kingdom. Authorities are examining recent incidents in London but have not established any direct connection.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the violence, calling attacks on Jewish residents «an attack on Britain,» while London Mayor Sadiq Khan said there is «no place for antisemitism» in the city.
Conservative MP Kemi Badenoch said, «Jewish people in our country are under constant attack. This is no longer a growing pattern. There is an epidemic of violence against Jewish people. It is now a national emergency and needs to be treated as such by the Government and public authorities.»
Dov Forman, a Golders Green resident and Holocaust educator, described the attack as part of what he sees as a broader and deeply concerning trend.

«Yet again, terror has been brought to our doorstep here in Golders Green, in the heart of London’s Jewish community,» Forman said. «Earlier today, two visibly Jewish men were stabbed in what is being described as an antisemitic attack. For many, this is not being seen as an isolated act of violence, but as part of a broader and deeply troubling pattern. There is growing concern that extemist rhetoric and Islamist extremism, including calls to ‘globalize the intifada,’ has helped fuel an environment in which hatred against Jews is increasingly normalized, unchecked, and dangerously emboldened.»
Israeli President Isaac Herzog said he was «horrified by yet another violent attack on Jews in broad daylight on the streets of London» and called for urgent action.
«No Jew anywhere in the world should be a target because of their faith,» Herzog said, adding that authorities must act «before the next antisemitic attack occurs.»
Authorities urged anyone with information to contact police as the investigation continues.

Trump declaró su “victoria” en la guerra con Irán, pero nuevos ataques israelíes en Líbano jaquean el acuerdo de paz
En medio de nuevos ataques israelíes en Líbano y fuertes advertencias de Irán, el presidente estadounidense, Donald Trump, afirmó este jueves que el acuerdo alcanzado para poner fin a la guerra en Medio Oriente equivale a una “victoria” para Estados Unidos.
“No hay ningún pago de 300.000 millones de dólares a Irán por parte de Estados Unidos. ¡Son noticias falsas! Todo lo que hay para Estados Unidos es éxito, precios del petróleo más bajos y victoria. Miren el mercado de valores”, dijo Trump en su red Truth Social. De esa manera, rechazó los cuestionamientos de la oposición demócrata.
En tanto, el vicepresidente estadounidense JD Vance dijo que posiblemente viaje a Suiza este fin de semana para iniciar conversaciones sobre el futuro del programa nuclear iraní, aunque aún no se determinó cuándo comenzarán las negociaciones.
“Tengo previsto viajar a Suiza cuando se espera que comiencen estas negociaciones técnicas, probablemente en algún momento de este fin de semana. Ese sigue siendo el plan, aunque podría cambiar, ya que no es fácil (para los negociadores de Teherán) salir de Irán. Por eso estamos tratando de determinar exactamente cuándo ocurrirá“, explicó Vance en una rueda de prensa en la Casa Blanca.
En el memorando de entendimiento firmado por Estados Unidos e Irán se dan a partir de hoy un plazo de 60 días para negociar un acuerdo de paz definitivo, que deberá ser ratificado mediante una resolución vinculante del Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU.
En el centro de ese acuerdo está el programa nuclear de Irán, que reafirmó en el memorando que “no adquirirá ni desarrollará armas nucleares” y se comprometió a dialogar con Washington sobre sus capacidades de enriquecimiento, así como la retirada de uranio ya enriquecido de su territorio bajo la supervisión del Organismo Internacional de la Energía Atómica (OIEA).
Nuevos ataques israelíes en Líbano
Pero el acuerdo firmado el miércoles por ambos países mostró que aún es frágil después que Israel volvió a lanzar este jueves dos ataques con drones contra un automóvil en el sur del territorio libanés.

Incluso, el primer ministro, Benjamin Netanyahu, aseguró este jueves que el Ejército mantendrá la “zona de seguridad” en los territorios ocupados del sur del Líbano, de los que Israel no se retirará “mientras las necesidades de seguridad así lo exijan” pese al acuerdo entre Irán y Estados Unidos, según citó el diario israelí Yediot Ajronot.

“Seguiremos avanzando por nuestro camino con sabiduría y discreción. Para ello es necesario mantener la zona de seguridad en el sur del Líbano”, aseveró Netanyahu en un discurso pronunciado durante la inauguración de una ruta en el bloque de asentamientos de Gush Etzion, en la Cisjordania ocupada.
Israel se refiere como “zona de seguridad” al perímetro que invade desde el 2 de marzo en el sur libanés, con una profundidad de hasta unos 10 kilómetros desde la frontera dentro del país vecino.

El acuerdo estadounidense-iraní incluye “garantizar la integridad territorial del Líbano”.
Desde Teherán, el portavoz del Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores de Irán, Ismail Bagaei, afirmó este jueves en una entrevista publicada por el diario libanés Al Akhbar que una eventual negativa de Israel a retirarse completamente del sur del Líbano constituiría una violación del memorando de entendimiento alcanzado entre Teherán y Washington, y dejaría sin efecto dicho acuerdo.
Bagaei explicó que el memorando incluye compromisos relacionados con la soberanía y la integridad territorial del Líbano.
Según el portavoz iraní, Teherán interpreta que esas garantías implican no solo el cese de las hostilidades, sino también la retirada total de las fuerzas israelíes de cualquier territorio libanés ocupado.
“Mientras la ocupación continúe, se puede decir que la guerra sigue en curso y no ha terminado en esencia”, señaló.

FIRST ON FOX: Americans are nearly evenly split between favoring Iranian regime change and a negotiated U.S. settlement with Iran, according to a new survey.
Some 39% of respondents favor a negotiated settlement where Iran’s current government remains in place, with verifiable limits on its nuclear and missile programs, according to the findings of the Reagan Institute Summer Survey, while 36% favor replacing Iran’s current government with one more favorable to the U.S.
Another 16% favor a weakened regime where the current government stays in place but is significantly diminished militarily and economically, and 8% responded that they don’t know.
The findings underscore the political challenge facing President Donald Trump as his administration pursues a newly signed memorandum of understanding with Iran. While the agreement seeks to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions through negotiations, Americans remain divided over the ultimate objective of U.S. policy toward the Islamic Republic.

AMERICANS AGREE WITH TRUMP THAT IRAN POSES THREAT TO UNITED STATES: POLL
Republicans who responded to the survey favored replacing Iran’s government by a 2-to-1 margin over a diplomatic deal.
Republicans were far more likely than Democrats to favor a more aggressive outcome in Iran. Half of Republican respondents said they would prefer to see Iran’s current government replaced with one more favorable to the United States, compared to 25% who said they would favor a negotiated settlement that leaves the regime in place in exchange for verifiable limits on its nuclear and missile programs.
The findings were nearly identical among self-identified MAGA Republicans, 51% of whom favored regime change while 25% backed a negotiated settlement.

Democrats, meanwhile, largely favored diplomacy. A majority, 52%, said they would prefer a negotiated settlement with Iran’s current government, while 25% favored regime change. Another 14% favored leaving the regime in place but significantly weakened militarily and economically.
The Reagan Institute Summer Survey was conducted May 26 through June 3 among 1,555 respondents nationwide and carries a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points. The survey used a mixed-mode methodology that included live telephone interviews, an online panel and text-to-web responses.

To better reflect the U.S. population, the results were weighted using demographic benchmarks from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2023 American Community Survey, including age, gender, race, region and education levels. The poll also included an oversample of 331 MAGA Republicans under age 30, a group with a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points.
The Reagan Institute is a Washington-based policy organization that advocates the Reagan foreign-policy tradition of «peace through strength» and sustained American leadership abroad.
The findings come as Trump has defended a newly signed memorandum of understanding with Iran as a way to reduce tensions and create a pathway toward a broader agreement addressing Tehran’s nuclear program.
The memorandum establishes a 60-day negotiating period during which the United States and Iran will attempt to reach a more comprehensive deal. The agreement also includes provisions aimed at restoring commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and provides limited sanctions waivers tied to continued negotiations. Several of the most contentious issues, including the long-term future of Iran’s nuclear program, are expected to be addressed in subsequent talks.
Trump has described the arrangement as a means of avoiding a wider conflict while pursuing what he called a «great settlement» with Tehran. He has also argued that the agreement could help stabilize energy markets by reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route, while creating an opportunity to negotiate additional restrictions on Iran’s nuclear activities.

The president added that he agreed to a settlement to avoid «economic catastrophe.»
«I didn’t want to see economic catastrophe. If you kept this going, that could have happened,» he told reporters at the G7 Summit in France.
