Documentary footage obtained by the Wall Street Journal shows the late Sen. Lindsey Graham planned to fly to Florida in early March to urge President Trump to join Israeli strikes on Hezbollah in Lebanon, but PM Netanyahu vetoed the plan in a phone call, saying it was too far-reaching while the war against Iran was ongoing, N12 reports.
New details have emerged from the documentary film chronicling the late Senator Lindsey Graham's life. The Zioneer reported earlier today that the documentary, obtained by the Wall Street Journal, reveals Graham's plan to fly to Florida in early March to lobby President Trump for a joint US-Israel strike on Hezbollah in Lebanon. The current report, from N12's Asaf Rozentzweig, provides additional context on the phone call between Graham and Prime Minister Netanyahu, during which Netanyahu vetoed the plan, saying it would be too far-reaching while the war against Iran was ongoing. The documentary also shows Graham pressing Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to support war against Iran, as The Zioneer reported in a separate bulletin. The revelations highlight Graham's longstanding role as a leading advocate for a hardline US policy toward Iran and Hezbollah, and his close relationship with Israeli leadership.
