Report: Netanyahu gifted Trump a golden pager; US president: ‘That was a great operation’
2025-02-06
[IsraelTimes] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly gifted US President Donald Trump with a golden pager and a regular one, a reference to the clandestine operation that decimated the Hezbollah terror group.

“That was a great operation,” Trump responded, according to Channel 12 news.

In return, Trump gave Netanyahu a photo of the two of them from the visit, with the dedication “To Bibi, a great leader.”

In September, thousands of pagers used by Hezbollah operatives across Lebanon suddenly exploded, killing and injuring dozens. A day later, hundreds of walkie-talkies also blew up, killing and injuring scores more.

The attacks, swiftly attributed to Israel, came as Israel stepped up a counteroffensive against the Iran-backed Hezbollah, which began striking Israel almost immediately after the allied Palestinian terror group Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack.

#2  ^ Old Russian proverb, "Trust, but verify".

Trump and Netanyahu have a lot in common. Bibi is responsible for the Lamest Genocide Ever, and Donald is implementing a fascist takeover by reducing the power and scope of the feral government. They should both get the Nobel Prize for something. But not the Peace one, that has been tainted by previous recipients.
