The Israeli Antiquities Authority has been trying reclaim the 'national treasures' since Covid
July 21, 2023 08:30Donald Trump is 'expediting' the return of priceless ancient Chanukah lamps after the Israeli government revealed they have been trying to reclaim the items for years.
According to a spokesman for the former president: “These historic items were presented by a representative of the Israeli antiquities authority with the full support of the organization,”
"The items were displayed as originally intended, the office will be expediting their return to the organization’s representative,”
The Chanukah lamps were sent to the US in 2019 for a White House event attended by millionaire Saul Fox, who is a major donor to the Israeli Antiquities Authority and the US Republican party.
