Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is on a state visit to the United States, presented two unique gifts before meeting with President Trump at the White House.: A dollar "for blessings and success" given by the Lubavitcher Rebbe and a mezuzah in the shape of a B2 bomber made from parts of an Iranian missile.

How did the dollar end up in the hands of the Prime Minister?

On Sunday this week, the day of Netanyahu's trip to Washington, he gave Meir Bar Lev , Deputy Mayor of Beitar Illit and Chabad representative in the municipality, a "Rebbe's Dollar" for the Prime Minister in a leather case with his name on it.

Bar Lev spoke with Netanyahu about the message of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, in light of the first Rashi in the Pentateuch, that the entire Land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people.

Netanyahu displayed the Rebbe's picture in the office, noting that he always acts in light of the Rebbe's instructions to protect the Land of Israel.

Later, Bar Lev handed another dollar to the prime minister, also in a leather pouch, so that he could hand it over to Trump.

Netanyahu, according to the documentation, carried out the mission.
