Who did Donnie-boy sell the stolen Israhelli "antiquities" to?

[yankeedoodle]

So, we have here the story of two oil lamps that, perhaps, resemble the picture below.  Israhelli looters - "archaeologists" - dug these up in Palestine, and claim that they are jewish, and that they belong to Israhell.

Israhell loaned these "antiquities" to Donnie-boy for a hanukkah party that a rich jew attended. 

Of course, these "antiquities" have gone missing, although, supposedly, they are at Mar-a-lago, where Donnie-boy lives, and we are left to wonder what happened to these "antiquities."  There are two obvious answers: either Donnie-boy sold them to some jew, or one of the many jews that surround Donnie-boy stole them.

Israel antiquities among items found at Mar-a-Lago, report claims

The Israel Antiquities Authority believes that a set of ancient ceramic oil lamps missing for more than three years are at Mar-a-Lago, the Florida estate of former President Donald Trump, according to Haaretz.

Haaretz reported on Tuesday that the Antiquities Authority loaned the White House the lamps in 2019 ahead of a Hanukkah party where a major donor to the Antiquities Authority, Saul Fox, would be in attendance. The lamps ultimately did not make an appearance at the event.

The return of the items was hindered by the onset of the pandemic in early 2020, when travel was severely restricted. The authority required that a staffer accompany items of such value while they travel. They were to remain in Fox's possession for a limited time until they could be returned.

After a long delay, the authority learned several months ago that the items have ended up at Mar-a-Lago, according to Haaretz. A large amount of other sensitive material was found at Mar-a-Lago, including government documents that Trump was allegedly not cleared to take with him when he left office.

Trump has been indicted on Espionage Act charges for retaining some of the documents, which were uncovered in storage spaces, a bedroom and a bathroom among other places. It is unclear whether the matter of the lamps will shed light on that case.

The Antiquities Authority has sought for senior Israeli figures close to Trump, including former U.S. ambassador to Israel David Friedman and former Israeli ambassador to Washington Ron Dermer, to intervene to help return the items, so far to no avail, Haaretz reported. It is unclear whether Trump knows the lamps are there.

Israel's 'National Treasures' Kept by Trump Might Be Stolen from the Palestinians       
Despite Palestinian attempts at retrieving some of the numerous stolen items, they have failed.

The Israeli government is working to recover several ancient relics loaned to the White House in 2019 and later stored at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, Haaretz reported.

The Israeli newspaper claimed that multiple attempts to retrieve the artifacts have failed.

Israel's Antiquities Authority sent the items to the United States for a Hanukkah candle-lighting ceremony at the White House in 2019, allowing them to be displayed at the event on the condition that they would be returned in a matter of weeks.

However, nearly four years later, the relics still have not been returned, according to multiple sources cited by the outlet on Tuesday.

The antiques include ancient ceramic oil lamps taken from Israel's National Treasures collection.

Though they were never exhibited at the White House over US concerns that they may have been taken – stolen- from the occupied Palestinian West Bank, the lamps ultimately landed at Trump's resort in Palm Beach, Florida, where they have been stored for several months.

Israel Hasson, who served as the director of the Antiquities Authority in 2019, told Haaretz that officials feared the items could be damaged if they were returned through a normal shipping company.

"We wanted our man to go and bring it back, but then Covid broke out, and everything got stuck," he said.

However, another Israeli official reached by the outlet said the situation was caused by "a misunderstanding," arguing that the Antiques Authority "woke up too late" and should have attempted to solve the problem sooner.

The Israeli government only recently learned the relics were being kept at Mar-a-Lago. It is unclear how they got there, nor whether Trump himself is aware the items are on his property.

The current head of the Antiques Authority, Eli Eskozido, has sought assistance from the Israeli Foreign Ministry, Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and the former US envoy to Israel, David Friedman, but has been unsuccessful to date.

Another source cited by Haaretz said he wouldn't be surprised if the relics are "eventually found in some bathroom" in Mar-a-Lago, alluding to the ongoing classified documents case against the former US president.

Since it occupied East Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza in 1967, Israel has claimed thousands of Palestinian artifacts and numerous ancient sites, in violation of international law.

Despite Palestinian attempts at retrieving some of the numerous stolen items, they have failed.

Many of the Palestinian historic treasures are often put on display in Israeli museums and are claimed to be the property of the Israeli state.

Trump to return ancient oil lamps to Israel     
https://www.jta.org/2023/07/20/politics/trump-to-return-ancient-oil-lamps-to-israel

Donald Trump says he will return a set of ancient oil lamps to the Israel Antiquities Authority.

"These historic items were presented by a representative of the Israeli antiquities authority with the full support of the organization," the Wall Street Journal quoted an unidentified Trump spokesman as saying. "As the items were displayed as originally intended, the office will be expediting their return to the organization's representative."

The announcement, published on Thursday, came after a revelation this week in Haaretz that the Israel Antiquities Authority had been asking for the return of the lamps for months, to no avail. Saul Fox, the Jewish Republican donor who gave Trump the priceless items, told the Journal that he believes that the items were meant to be in Trump's custody permanently.

Fox, who is based in California and is also a major donor to the Israel Antiquities Authority, said that he originally asked the authority to present Trump with the lamps at the White House Hanukkah party in 2019 to thank him for his Israel policies. The State Department needed to first vet the set of six lamps, Fox said, and they were not ready in time for the party.

Three months later, Fox said, he paid for a courier to bring him the lamps. He stored them in his house "and sort of forgot about it," he told the Journal. Then in 2021, Trump invited Fox to attend a dinner at Mar-a-Lago, the former president's Florida estate. Fox's girlfriend designed a presentation case for the lamps.

While he was at Mar-a-Lago, Fox got an urgent message from the director of the Israeli Antiquities Authority saying there had been a "miscommunication," and that Fox had to return the lamps.

Fox ignored the message and presented the lamps to Trump, believing that while they remained the property of the authority they were to be a "permanent exhibition of Israel's national treasures" in Trump's custody. The authority again asked Fox to get the lamps back, but he resisted, finding the request offensive.

The former director of the authority, who organized the sending of the lamps, told the Journal that "Saul Fox operated transparently with the antiquities authority."
