Benny Netanyahu, peanuts and a prize...that's what you get with President Cracker Jack (Trump gets a new "award") [View all]
Apologies in advance to anyone too young to remember the "Cracker Jack" jingle.Political analysts and observers bashed President Donald Trump on Monday after he accepted a "fake award" from a foreign leader at his Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago.
Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday to discuss the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, and other topics. During a press conference after the meeting, Netanyahu said he would award Trump the "Israel Prize," regarded as the country's highest cultural honor.
Trump said the award is "surprising and very much appreciated."
It was awarded at a time when Israel and Hamas appear to be grinding toward the second phase of their alleged peace plan. That phase calls for the disarmament of Hamas and the establishment of a peacekeeping force in Gaza.
