Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in an interview with NBC's Meet the Press on Monday, contrasted Israel's mourning over the death of Senator Lindsey Graham with celebrations in Iran. 'In Israel there is mourning. In Iran there are celebrations,' Netanyahu said. The statement comes as Iranian state media have openly celebrated Graham's death, calling it 'good news' and labeling him a 'child murderer,' as The Zioneer reported on July 12. Netanyahu has previously eulogized Graham as a 'true friend and ally' and revealed that the late senator urged him to strike Iran's nuclear facilities. The interview underscores the divide between Israel and Iran in their response to the passing of the pro-Israel senator.
