Sean Hannity, speaking at the funeral of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, directly addressed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling him a friend of 30 years and saying it was an honor for Netanyahu to attend. Hannity added that Graham loved Netanyahu, Israel, and the Jewish people.
The memorial dinner for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham took place Monday evening in Washington, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara in attendance. The event, which included senior administration officials and members of Congress, featured a eulogy by Fox News host Sean Hannity, who directly addressed Netanyahu.
Hannity noted that Graham was "in awe" that Netanyahu made the long journey to be present, and called Netanyahu a friend of 30 years. "He loved you, he loved the State of Israel, and he loved the Jewish people," Hannity said. The dinner followed Netanyahu's meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House.
As The Zioneer reported earlier, Netanyahu and Trump discussed Iran and other regional issues during their summit. The Prime Minister's attendance at the Graham memorial underscores the deep personal and strategic ties between Israeli leadership and key American allies.
