Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gifted U.S. President Donald Trump a golden pager during their Washington meeting, referencing a deadly September operation targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The Israeli operation, which involved explosions destroying Hezbollah members' pagers and walkie-talkies, killed 37 people, including children, and injured nearly 3,000.
Trump returned the gesture with a signed photograph of the two, labeling Netanyahu a “great leader.” This exchange highlights the strained geopolitical context between Israel, Lebanon, and Iran-backed militant groups.
