A compilation of quotes from the late senator, published by The Zioneer, shows his consistent pro-Israel stance and his recent criticism of President Trump for not delivering on promises to Iran. Graham died suddenly Saturday night at age 71.
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), a staunch ally of Israel and a leading voice on Iranian aggression, passed away suddenly Saturday night at age 71. His office confirmed his death from a sudden illness, with i24NEWS reporting cardiac arrest. Israeli and American leaders eulogized him, including President Trump, Foreign Minister Israel Katz, and Samaria regional council head Yossi Dagan. Some of Graham's final public statements, compiled by The Zioneer, reflect his core convictions: support for Israel's right to self-defense, opposition to Palestinian statehood, and a hardline stance on Iran. In a recent message, he urged President Trump to act on Iran, saying 'You can't talk like Reagan and act like Obama. There is no deal to make here.' He also warned that recognizing a Palestinian state would turn October 7 into a 'day of liberation' for the terror world. The senator's death leaves a significant gap in pro-Israel advocacy in the U.S. Senate.
