Trump to return artefacts sent by Israel and held at Mar-a-Lago

Israel sent items including ancient coins and ceramic oil lamps in December 2019 for Hanukkah event at White House

Donald Trump will finally return ancient artefacts sent to the US by Israel in 2019 after the items had a lengthy stay at Mar-a-Lago.

Israel sent the items to the US in December 2019 for a Hanukkah event at the White House. The artefacts were meant to be displayed for the 2019 event and then returned to Israel, but the US state department prevented their display over concerns they may have been taken from the West Bank.
