Israeli Ambassador to Washington Yechiel Leiter expressed deep sorrow over the sudden death of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), calling him a principled realist in foreign policy who saw ending Iranian aggression as the beginning of true peace for the region. Leiter praised Graham as a great American patriot and a true friend of Israel.
Israeli Ambassador to Washington Yechiel Leiter issued a statement Sunday evening mourning the sudden death of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who died earlier Sunday at age 71 after a sudden illness. Leiter described Graham as a principled foreign-policy realist who believed that ending Iranian aggression would usher in genuine peace for the region, and as a staunch advocate of the U.S.-Israel alliance who was beloved by the Israeli people. The ambassador noted Graham's decades of service to South Carolina and his character as sharp, funny, and a true friend. Leiter's eulogy joins a wave of tributes from Israeli and American leaders, including Foreign Minister Israel Katz and Shomron Regional Council head Yossi Dagan, as The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday. The cause of death has been reported as cardiac arrest by i24NEWS, though official confirmation remains pending.
