A rectangular glass vessel with the image of Abie Nathan the man of peace + the plane in which he traveled to Egypt in 1966 - a definitely unusual and rare item. Dimensions: 21X8X1 cm
 On February 28, 1966, Ivy Natan left Herzliya Airport for a flight to Egypt in his private plane, a Boeing Stearman (biplane) which he called "Shalom 1" (the name was emblazoned on the plane in Hebrew, Arabic and English). Ivy Natan landed in Port Said. Due to a lack of communication, news spread in Israel that he was killed due to the crash of his plane during landing, but the next day it turned out that this news was wrong. Upon arriving in Egypt he was arrested, and his request to meet with President Jamal Abdel Nasser in order to hand him a petition calling for peace was rejected. The next day, a lead article in Al Ahram newspaper stated that: "In order to mislead the world, Israel staged a stupid comedy, in which it simultaneously plays the role of director and lead actor. Ivy Nathan came to Egypt, accompanied by the blessing of the Israeli authorities. This pitiful clown does not deserve any attention from us, and therefore his deportation back to Israel is the only answer to Tita." The rest of the Egyptian media completely ignored the flight. After a day in Port Said, he was deported back to Israel along with his plane, which he flew to Herzliya Airport, from where he took off. A crowd of about 1,000 people was waiting for him in the field. He was arrested at the airport by the police for crossing Israel's borders illegally and was immediately released on bail. At the end of March 1966, the Attorney General, Moshe Ben Zeev, decided not to prosecute him for his flight to Egypt.
