Israeli antiquities on loan to Trump White House stored at Mar-a-Lago: Report
Antiques from the Middle East Allegedly Stored at Mar-a-Lago
Classified documents are not the only things that have allegedly been stored at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, as antiques from the Middle East have also reportedly been stored in the South Florida complex.
According to a report from the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, several antiques from Israel, loaned to the White House nearly four years ago, have ended up at Mar-a-Lago, and Israeli authorities are trying to retrieve them.
Ancient Treasures and Bureaucratic Difficulties

These items were originally shipped to the United States for a Hanukkah event at the White House in 2019 during Trump’s presidency. However, due to “bureaucratic difficulty,” they were not displayed.
Unfortunately, the items were not returned in a timely manner due to the COVID-19 pandemic and other distractions, as stated in the report. It is alleged that these antiques were among the items moved from the White House to Mar-a-Lago when Trump left office in 2021.
Classified Materials and Legal Proceedings
In addition to the antiques, other items reportedly transferred to Trump’s residence included classified materials, for which the former president is facing charges in federal court. A key hearing is scheduled for Tuesday in Florida to determine how these allegedly classified materials will be handled. Trump was arraigned for the charges in a federal courthouse in Miami last month.
It is worth noting that this report coincides with President Joe Biden hosting Israeli President Isaac Herzog for a bilateral meeting at the White House. Herzog is also set to address a joint session of Congress during his visit to the U.S.
Meanwhile, Republicans in the House of Representatives are planning to force a vote on a resolution reaffirming support for Israel. This comes after Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) made antisemitic comments over the weekend, which she has since retracted and apologized for.
