Following an earlier report from Israel Hayom that associates of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were examining the possibility of his attending the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham, N12 correspondent Yaron Avraham now reports, citing sources, that Netanyahu himself is examining the possibility. If the trip proceeds, he is likely to meet President Donald Trump as well. The funeral is expected to be held in South Carolina, according to the earlier Israel Hayom report, though no date has been announced. No official confirmation from the Prime Minister's Office has been received. The potential meeting with Trump, if confirmed, would come amid the close ties between the two leaders and the current political landscape in Israel ahead of elections.
