Fox News host Sean Hannity delivered a eulogy at the memorial dinner for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham on Tuesday evening, praising Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's leadership and stating that Israel was "one of the most consistent and loyal allies" under his tenure. According to a report by Channel 12, Hannity noted that Graham was "stunned" that Netanyahu made the long journey to Washington to attend the service.
The dinner, which began on Monday evening, was initially reported by The Zioneer on Tuesday at 13:09 Jerusalem. At that time, Netanyahu and his wife Sara attended the event, where the prime minister called Graham "a great patriot" and "one of Israel's greatest friends." The Graham family pledged to fight antisemitism and strengthen the U.S.-Israel alliance. The dinner was held at a non-kosher Washington restaurant and included senior administration officials and members of Congress.
This memorial dinner was part of Netanyahu's broader Washington visit, which also included a White House meeting with President Trump. The prime minister originally traveled to the U.S. to attend Graham's funeral, as The Zioneer reported on Sunday, July 26. Graham, a longtime Republican senator from South Carolina and a staunch supporter of Israel, died on July 25 at age 71, prompting eulogies from multiple Israeli leaders.
The report of Hannity's remarks is based on a single source, Channel 12, and has not yet been confirmed by additional outlets.
