Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has presented US President Donald Trump with a golden pager while visiting Washington DC.

Netanyahu's office said the pager represented "a turning point in the war" when Israel carried out a deadly operation against Hezbollah in September 2024.

In the operation, Israel targeted pagers used by members of the Iran-backed militant group, causing them to explode.

Dozens of people were killed and thousands injured in the attacks. Israel said it was tailored to target only Hezbollah members, but civilians were among the victims, Lebanese officials said.

1. Does it explode?

Or is it just a listening bug?

2. I recommend watching "The Jeopardy Room"

"The Jeopardy Room" is episode 149 of the The Twilight Zone. Martin Landau is excellent.

No spoilers!

4. Doesn't that pager belong to the US government or did that law change or is it being ignored?

6. That thief took stuff that belonged in the National Archives.

And a hell of a lot more.

I think that they are allowed to play with gifts until they leave office or ....
