Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a recent television interview, recalled a final discussion he had with the late U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who died unexpectedly. Netanyahu told Graham that he intended to gradually eliminate all American military assistance to Israel, arguing the country could finance its own defense. According to Netanyahu, Graham strongly rejected that idea, insisting that aid should continue or even increase. The exchange highlights Graham’s long-standing commitment to robust U.S. support for Israel, a stance central to his legacy as a foreign policy hawk. Netanyahu’s account offers a glimpse into their close relationship and the debate over America’s role in providing for allied nations’ security.
