Just share with yourself via email.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I would use Pushbullet, you can easily "Push" images from your phone to your computer

I had to hard reset my phone and I'm out of the country for  some time. Is there any way to get WhatsApp working with my US number (which is temporarily deactivated) from Israel?

if its deactivated - no
you can port it and then deal with the port back afterwards

If you have the initial text message with the code you can try it
Jews ≠ Zionists
Palestinians ≠ Hamas
Satmar ≠ SatmarHQ
