Israel's Precious Antiquities Trapped at Mar-a-Lago
TL;DR
Ancient artefacts, including ceramic oil lamps from Israel's national treasures collection, sent to the US for a White House event in 2019 have ended up at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. The oil lamps were not displayed due to concerns they may have been taken from the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Efforts by Israeli officials to retrieve the treasures have so far failed, and it is unclear how they ended up at Mar-a-Lago or if Trump is aware of their presence. The Israel Antiquities Authority has sought help from various officials but without success.
