July 12 (Reuters) – Israel’s prime minister and other leading officials offered their condolences on Sunday for the death of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, saying they had lost a dear friend.
“Lindsey understood that the security of Israel and America are inseparable,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement.
“Israel has lost one of its greatest friends. America has lost a great patriot. I have lost a beloved friend.”
In separate posts on X, Israeli President Isaac Herzog, Defense Minister Israel Katz, Foreign Minister Gideon Saar and former prime minister Naftali Bennett called Graham a true friend of Israel and one of its strongest supporters.
