Israel struggles to get Trump to return ancient artifacts stashed at Mar-a-Lago

These artifacts were used at the White House for a Hanukkah celebration and then TFG stole these artifacts



https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/israel-struggles-to-get-trump-to-return-ancient-artifacts-stashed-at-mar-a-lago/ar-AA1e0XrU

It seems that former President Donald Trump wasn't just stashing nuclear secrets at his Mar-a-Lago resort.

Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports that Israeli officials have been trying without success to get the former president to return government-owned antiquities that were sent to the White House in 2019 on the condition that they be returned shortly afterward.

Not only were the artifacts not returned, but they were taken down to the former president's resort after he left the White House in 2021.

According to Haaretz, the artifacts included "ancient ceramic candles which are part of Israel's national treasures collection" and were shipped to the White House to be used at a Hanukkah candle-lighting event that was attended by Trump personally.
