Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during a visit to Washington on Wednesday, presented U.S. President Donald Trump with a mezuzah fashioned to resemble a B-2 stealth bomber. According to multiple media reports, the case was crafted from fragments of an Iranian missile that had struck Israel earlier this year. The symbolic gift comes less than a month after U.S. B-2 bombers struck Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility and underscores the close security coordination between Washington and Jerusalem amid heightened tensions with Tehran. A mezuzah traditionally contains Torah verses and is affixed to doorposts of Jewish homes; Netanyahu’s choice of both material and design ties the religious emblem to recent military events. People familiar with the presentation said a plaque accompanying the piece thanked Trump "for the big, beautiful bombs of Midnight Hammer," referring to the Fordow operation. Neither the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office nor the White House offered immediate comment on the exchange, but Israeli officials described the gift as a gesture of appreciation for U.S. support against Iranian aggression.
