In a meeting that blended diplomacy and symbolism, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented U.S. President Donald Trump with a golden pager this week. 🎁 The gesture reportedly references a September 2023 Israeli cyberattack in Lebanon that disrupted communications devices used by the Lebanese group Hezbollah, leading to widespread chaos and casualties. 💥
Trump, known for his love of glittering memorabilia, reciprocated with a signed photo of the two leaders, inscribed: "To Bibi, A great leader!" 📸 The exchange underscores the close, if unconventional, ties between the two figures.
The September attack, which saw thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies explode across Lebanon, was described by Trump as a "great operation" after receiving the gift, per an Israeli official. 🌍 The golden pager now serves as a quirky yet loaded reminder of tech-driven modern warfare—and how world leaders memorialize it.
