Verdict: Missing Context
This post lacks context. Israel is the only non-U.S. country to have a 9/11 memorial that lists all of the names of the victims, not the only one to have a 9/11 memorial at all.
Fact Check:
Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris shook hands while attending a ceremony commemorating the 23rd anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks on Wednesday, President Biden and Sen. J.D. Vance were also present, according to CNN. President Joe Biden later wore a Trump hat after he spoke of the unity America experienced after the attacks, saying that the country needs to return to that, the outlet reported.
An X post claims Israel is the only country outside of America to have a 9/11 memorial. An included photo appears to show a large 9/11 memorial of an American flag.
Memorial Mapping, a site that geographically documents memorials around the world, has a page that allows viewers to browse different non-U.S. 9/11 memorials.
