uh, writing here in Rolling Stone, it says Israel lent several antiquities to the White

House in 2019, including ancient clay lamps for a White House Hanukkah event.

Unfortunately, Donald Trump was president at the time, which means the artifacts are

now at Mar-a-Lago, and Israel can't figure out how to get them back, Haretz reported on

Tuesday.

The artifacts were only supposed to be in Washington, D.C. for a few weeks.

Israel Heisen, the director of the Israel Antiquities Authority, told Haretz that because

they are so valuable, he wanted someone to pick them up instead of having them shipped

overseas.

The pandemic derailed these plans, and the artifacts remained in the White House.

Israeli authorities learned several months ago that they wound up at Mar-a-Lago.

Folks, they said, they said, I shouldn't open the Ark of the Covenant, should I do it?

Should I open the Ark of the Covenant, I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it.

I'm going to do it.

I'm feeling like, what are the, like, okay, knowing what we know about so-called Israeli

antiquities.

Um, I remember there was a big thing about Netanyahu, how he was trying to prove that his

family is indigenous to Israel.

Yes.

He had some like fake coin, like the type where you put a penny in one of those museum machines

where you crank the handle.

Yeah.
