The late Senator Lindsey Graham was a 'true friend of Israel' and a rational voice in a changing Republican Party, according to a Sunday reflection by The Zioneer. The piece praises his deep understanding of global threats and his ability to distinguish between 'America First' and 'America Only.'
The Zioneer on Sunday published a Hebrew-language reflection on the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, calling him a 'true friend of Israel' who maintained rationality amid the Republican Party's shift toward 'America Only' positions. The piece, posted at 13:49 Jerusalem, follows an earlier Zioneer bulletin at 13:06 that described Graham's death as a 'huge loss' for Israel at a critical juncture.
Graham's death was confirmed earlier Sunday, triggering a wave of tributes from Israeli officials and commentators. Mark Zell, chairman of the Republican Party in Israel, eulogized Graham as a 'hero' in the fight against Iran. Israeli media figure Doron Kadush described him as 'the most pro-Israel figure in the US leadership.'
The reflection highlights Graham's deep understanding of the global threat map and his ability to distinguish between 'America First' and 'America Only,' a distinction the piece argues is increasingly blurred under populist pressure. The Zioneer's editorial voice calls Graham a 'true friend of Israel' who will be greatly missed.
