An Israeli minister has warned that relations between Tel Aviv and Washington have reached a crisis point amid growing tensions between the two sides.
On Saturday, Israel’s Finance Minister Yair Lapid said “there is a crisis with the United States,” noting that Washington-Tel Aviv ties “must be managed respectfully and responsibly.”
The warning comes after reports that the US administration rejected a request by Israeli Minister for Military Affairs Moshe Ya’alon to meet with several top-ranking officials, including Vice President Joe Biden, National Security Adviser Susan Rice and Secretary of State John Kerry, during his five-day visit to Washington this week.
The White House has been upset over Ya’alon’s negative comments regarding Kerry’s efforts to forge a peace deal between Israeli and Palestinian officials as well as the ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran.
Earlier in the year, Ya’alon called Kerry’s efforts for a so-called Israeli-Palestinian peace “messianic and obsessive.”
In response, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the remarks were “offensive and inappropriate especially given all that the US is doing to support Israel’s security needs.” Ya’alon later had to apologize for his statements.
In June, the Tel Aviv regime protested the US decision to continue to work with the new Palestinian unity government and provide funding for it.
Observers say Washington’s plan to work with the new unity government shows Obama’s more openness to the Palestinians and the fact that his administration is more critical of Israel.

Iraq's Lost Treasures (the treasure of Nimrud) - 45 minutes
Published on Apr 21, 2013
the treasure of Nimrud — which dates from the eighth and ninth centuries B.C. — consists of over 100 pounds of solid gold jewelry, precious metals and other priceless artifacts, including a crown made from more than a kilogram of gold.
Discovered 15 years ago in northern Iraq, the exquisite objects had not been seen since before the first Gulf War.

Hidden treasures revealed in Afghanistan: Crossroads of the Ancient World at the British Museum - 3.5 minutes
Uploaded on Mar 25, 2011
A story of daring and intrigue - archaeologists discovered the treasures of Afghanistan's nomadic ancestors but then had to hide them to keep them safe.

The Keeper of the Keys and the Mystery of the Bactrian Gold - Excerpts from Wall Street Journal article August 12, 2009:

Mr. Askarzai, the 59-year-old head of cash issuance at the central bank, controls the key to a presidential vault and the treasure that for years was secretly stashed inside. He works in a dimly lighted office, behind a cluttered desk, with a drawer full of skeleton keys. Until now, the man with a pencil mustache and swept-back hair has refused to be photographed or identified by name in accounts of how he thwarted the Taliban's attempt to loot a hoard of ancient gold.
The treasure was discovered in late 1978 during an excavation led by the Soviet archaeologist Viktor Sarianidi. The team had been searching for Bronze Age artifacts just outside the northern city of Sheberghan, according to Nader Rasoli, director of Afghanistan's Institute of Archaeology, who was also on the dig. They stumbled instead upon burial mounds -- seven of them -- stuffed with priceless possessions of rulers who hoped to carry their wealth into the afterlife.
"Suddenly," remembers Mr. Rasoli, "we saw all this gold."
The team unearthed gold crowns, belts and gem-encrusted pendants. The artifacts were traced to Bactria, a civilization ruled by nomadic kings and queens. A few hundred years before the birth of Christ, these chieftains yielded to the armies of Alexander the Great, and as a result, Greek influence seeped into Afghanistan's art. The commerce of merchants who plied the Silk Road, connecting Europe and Asia, added to the cultural mosaic found beneath Sheberghan's soil.
The team rushed to deliver the artifacts, which became known as the Bactrian Gold, to the National Museum in Kabul. Harsh weather and political instability prevented excavation of the seventh mound. What remained was looted.
As Afghanistan slid into war with the Soviet Union, officials at the Kabul National Museum worried about what they were guarding. In 1985, the museum leadership decided to shift the treasure to a more secure museum at the presidential palace, according to Omara Khan Masoudi, who is now head of the National Museum. A few years later, they moved it again to a vault in the palace, which was controlled by the central bank's Mr. Askarzai.
Despite efforts to persuade commanders to protect the national museum, Mr. Masoudi estimates 70% of its artifacts were stolen. He suspects the lost items - - including coins and early Islamic art -- made their way to Pakistan and onto the international black market.
The Bactrian Gold remained safe, however, protected by a small number of people who knew its secret location. "We gave out no information," says Mr. Masoudi.
In late 2001, after the terrorist attacks in the U.S., a delegation of Taliban ministers arrived. They demanded to inspect the vault.
Guns pressed against Mr. Askarzai's temples as he dialed the combination, slid in the key and finally swung open the thick steel door. Before them lay stacks of silver and gold bricks -- five to six decades old -- that were part of the country's foreign reserves. Further inside, behind another locked door, rested more than 21,000 pieces of the Bactrian treasure. Its worth was incalculable.
"What's behind the other door?" a Taliban minister asked.
"Ceramic handicrafts," said Mr. Askarzai, lying.
Nothing was removed during the quick inspection, according to Mr. Askarzai. Shutting the door, the otherwise cautious central bank official acted on impulse. He turned the key against the lock until a tooth broke off inside. The vault was sealed.
"I didn't want them to take the gold outside the country and sell it," Mr. Askarzai says. "It belongs to the people of Afghanistan."
The Taliban leaders soon returned, fleeing ahead of the American invasion. This time, Mr. Askarzai said he couldn't open the door. Guards fired into the air in fury, but the delegation left in haste. At a different vault beneath the central bank, the Taliban succeeded in carting away $4.5 million in cash, according to a central bank spokesman.
hose. After the Taliban regime collapsed, Afghanistan's new leader, Mr. Karzai, sought someone who could issue money. They found Mr. Askarzai in jail. He had been there for three months and 19 days.
Once free, Mr. Askarzai found a locksmith to remove the tooth of broken key, so Afghanistan's new government could size up the country's foreign reserves. Questions persisted about the fate of the Bactrian gold, though, despite official assurances that it was safe.
In April 2004, Mr. Askarzai opened the vault to a delegation of Afghan officials and foreign art scholars. A blowtorch unsealed a small room inside the vault, according to Mr. Masoudi, who was among those who witnessed battered boxes being brought out filled with the gold artifacts.
The rediscovery of the Bactrian treasure focused international attention on those who worked to save it. [...] Mr. Masoudi says he has represented his country at the treasure's opening exhibits in the U.S. and Europe. A collection is now on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
"The government should appreciate his work," says Mr. Masoudi of Mr. Askarzai. "He was the key person."

Search For the Lost Treasure of Afghanistan - Wikipedia

Search for the Lost Treasure of Afghanistan is a 2007 documentary film in which travel writer and explorer Tahir Shah heads off to Afghanistan on a quest to find the hidden treasure of Ahmad Shah Durrani, the world's largest treasure, which is estimated at over $500 billion in today's currency.
The treasure of Ahmad Shah is often considered to be the greatest ‘lost treasure’ in history: a mountain of gold and jewels reputed to be worth in excess of $530 billion. In 1740 Nadir Shah of Persia swept through Afghanistan into India. After sacking its capital at Delhi, he plundered the treasuries of the Mughal emperors and hauled the wealth of three hundred years westward, over the Hindu Kush, towards his kingdom of Persia. The treasure caravan was said to have been 150 miles long, and to have contained the greatest accumulation of gold and gems in human history.[3]
During the journey back to Persia, Nadir Shah was murdered in his tent by one of his young Afghan generals, Ahmad Shah. The young soldier, who was to become first king of modern Afghanistan, found himself in possession of this immense treasure: a million gold coins and sacks of jewels, as well as the sacred Peacock Throne (now in Iran), and the fabled Koh-i-noor diamond, which today can be found in the British Crown Jewels.[3]

Iraq's Lost Treasures (the treasure of Nimrud) - 45 minutes
Published on Apr 21, 2013 [A 2003 Documentary about the Lost Treasure of Nimrud/Nimrod hunt that began in Iraq within a few weeks after the fall of Baghdad.]
the treasure of Nimrud — which dates from the eighth and ninth centuries B.C. — consists of over 100 pounds of solid gold jewelry, precious metals and other priceless artifacts, including a crown made from more than a kilogram of gold.
Discovered 15 years ago [1988] in northern Iraq, the exquisite objects had not been seen since before the first Gulf War.

At 6:03: "I was first here 7 years ago." [1996?]
Examples of confusing statements at various points in the video as if the war in Iraq was over when Baghdad fell, very soon after that had only just begun [on March 19, 2003] over a decade ago:

6:09: "I just want to give you an idea of what post-war Baghdad looks like these days."
6:37: "Life is resuming its pre-war pattern.
7:17: ..."they're here to assess the post-war condition of the country's museums and archeological sites"...

Treasure of Nimrud Is Found In Iraq, and It's Spectacular - WSJ - excerpts, Wall Stree Journal article updated June 6, 2003:

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- The treasure of Nimrud survived 2,800 years buried near a dusty town in northern Iraq. It then spent 12 years tucked away in a vault. Until Thursday, it was uncertain whether it had survived Saddam Hussein's son, a U.S. missile strike, looters, a flood and a grenade attack. But it has been found intact in the dark, damp basement of a bombed out central bank building.
Thursday, directors of Iraq's National Museum and a team of U.S. Customs agents and officials from the Office of the Coalition Provisional Authority -- the Pentagon-run agency managing postwar Iraq -- cracked open five waterlogged wooden crates, peered inside and breathed a collective sigh of relief.
There, in dozens of smaller boxes was the entire collection -- 613 pieces of gold jewelry, precious stones and ornaments from the height of the Assyrian civilization in 800 B.C. Together, the pieces weigh well over 100 pounds.
The recovery of the artifacts, which hasn't been made public, is a great boost for the museum, which gained the world's attention in the days after the war when [...] looters [hauled] away thousands of artifacts from ancient civilizations that sprang up in the Tigris-Euphrates valley. Experts said it was the worst ransacking of Iraq since Genghis Khan tore into Baghdad in the 13th century.
While initial reports talked of some 170,000 pieces stolen, it is now clear that perhaps only a few thousand artifacts were taken, experts say. Many priceless objects from the museum are still missing, such as the sacred Vase of Warka, a Sumerian piece from about 3000 B.C. But museum officials moved hundreds of the most valuable items into storage rooms and secret locations only weeks before the war, including some 40,000 ancient books, Islamic manuscripts and scrolls spirited away in a bomb shelter. More than a thousand other pieces have been recovered by U.S. officials.
Unearthed in 1988 by Iraqi archaeologists and never seen outside Iraq, the Nimrud treasure had been on public display at Baghdad's National Museum for just a few months before Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990. Days after the invasion, the treasure was yanked from public view. Its whereabouts remained secret.
One man who long wondered about the treasure was Jason Williams, a British anthropologist and filmmaker, who had tried in vain to film the Nimrud treasure in recent years. The only existing film of the pieces was taken when Iraqi archeologists made the discovery, with grainy images of an archaeologist holding up rings and bracelets
"These are Iraq's crown jewels," Mr. Williams said recently as he stepped over several feet of smashed glass, twisted metal and heaps of charred Iraqi dinars in the hull of the bank building destroyed by a U.S. missile strike. Although the building was gutted, the missile didn't damage the basement or the vaults. But a burst water pipe soon flooded the area.
[T]he treasure [was] discovered by Iraqi archeologists in four burial sites in Nimrud, near the biblical city of Nineveh. The pieces include a queen's crown with eight winged girls and a dome of gold leaves, white marble jars, gold plates and engraved silver pitchers
Even after it appeared that the treasure was safe, there was still a major obstacle to getting at it: The basement of the main central bank building was flooded. Two weeks ago [..] two giant irrigation pumps were hard at work. With the vault still flooded, Mr. Williams bought two smaller pumps that could be lowered down the stairs as the water level dropped.
Even then, progress was painfully slow. Every time Mr. Williams's team turned the pumps off, the water level rose. Finally, one of Mr. Williams's Iraqi workers hit upon a solution. With bemused U.S. soldiers looking on, the man lifted every manhole cover in the area until he found a valve that stopped fresh water from flowing to the building.
It still took a week to fully drain the building. Mr. Williams, now back in Washington, estimates his team of amateur hydrologists drained 640,000 gallons of water.
There were still some hiccups along the way. When one of the first bank vaults was opened, museum officials spotted 14 crates thought to contain the treasure only to find jewels of another kind: belonging to Iraq's first modern king, Faisal I. "We discovered a treasure, it just wasn't the right one," says Bill Gardner, a producer for National Geographic. Central Bank workers then told worried museum officials there were five other crates from the museum in another vault, which was opened on Sunday.
The crates were badly damaged from the flooding and officials didn't want to haul them up the elevator shaft in case they broke apart and damaged the treasure. So the suspense continued until the boxes could be packed into new crates and lifted out Thursday.

Ancient Assyrian Treasures Found Intact in Baghdad -- June 6, 2003 nationalgeographic.com article excerpts:

Gold jewelry and other precious items recovered from royal tombs excavated at the ancient Assyrian capital of Nimrud, and objects from the royal cemetery at Ur, have been found where they were stashed for safety—in a vault below the Central Bank in Baghdad—before the onset of the Gulf War in 1990.
The 2,800-year-old treasures—which are regarded by some archaeologists as rare and precious as the objects found in Pharaoh Tutankhamun's tomb—were in three cases that had been sealed and secured in the underground vault. The cases were not found until last week because the basement of the bank was flooded, possibly deliberately by bank officials as a way to protect the treasures from looters.
A team from the television series National Geographic Ultimate Explorer in Baghdad organized the draining of well over half a million gallons (nearly two million liters) of water from the flooded bank vaults.
In May, the National Geographic Society's Committee for Research and Exploration led the first trip to survey conditions of Iraq's archaeological sites since the war there
Draining of the Central Bank's vault levels to gain access to Iraq's currency reserves, needed to pay salaries throughout the country, led to confirmation that the cases containing the Nimrud treasures were still intact.
"We have assistance from our friends [at] National Geographic who brought [a] pumping system and hired people to [do] this job for us free of charge," said Ahmed Muhammad, deputy governor of Iraq's Central Bank. "We thank them very much for this favor," he told the Ultimate Explorer team which helped the bank drain the water from the basement.
"The bank was flooded right up to the ground level," said Gayle Young, director of story development, Ultimate Explorer. "It took three pumps and three weeks to get all the water out. At first the water kept flooding into the bank as fast as we pumped it out, but then it was discovered there was a valve that was open. Once we were able to shut that off we could drain all the water and the bank officials gained access to the vaults," Young said.
Young said the three boxes that contained the treasures were found in the seventh vault that was inspected, exactly where it was believed they would be. An archaeologist who placed the seals on the boxes confirmed that they had not been broken.

Finding the Treasures of Nimrud: An Interview with Jason Williams - with audio files

Early in June 2003, film-maker Jason Williams and his National Geographic camera crew succeeded in locating and recovering the Treasures of Nimrud and other precious heritage objects in the Central Bank of Iraq, where in 1990 they had been placed for safekeeping. Meanwhile, looting is reportedly continuing at archaeological sites elsewhere in the country. In this interview, recorded via telephone on 31 July 2003, Mr. Williams recounts this remarkable story and offers his perspectives on the heritage crisis in Iraq.

During the 3 minute segment at 32:33-35:37, some of the missing items from Iraq's museum reportedly weren't looted but taken to prevent them from being looted or destroyed and were returned. An insider/museum-employee heist, though, was determined to have occured in a location containing many small and extremely valuable historical items.
