A U.S. Secret Service vehicle reportedly caught fire near the White House on Monday morning, sparking emergency responses and temporary street closures. Mario Nawfal reported that the SUV’s back seat ignited, prompting swift action by authorities. The incident occurred at the corner of 18th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, with no immediate casualties confirmed. Amanda Head, a White House correspondent for Just the News, verified the event as an eyewitness.

The fire coincided with ongoing diplomatic discussions between U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who met to advance a proposed 21-point Gaza ceasefire plan. Netanyahu and his aides, including Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, engaged in talks with Trump’s representatives, including Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, to refine the agreement’s wording. Key challenges include balancing Israel’s demand for exclusion of the Palestinian Authority from governing Gaza against Arab state preferences for its involvement. The plan remains under development.

The Secret Service incident is under investigation, with no further details released at this time.
