Lindsey Graham died on Saturday at age 71. His death prompted statements from Israeli officials and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Itamar Ben‑Gvir, Israel’s national security minister, offered a public tribute. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Graham was a close ally of Israel. Zelenskyy described Graham as a defender of freedom and a supporter of values that help keep the world safe. Graham served in the Senate for more than three decades and was known for his outspoken views on Israel and Ukraine and for his close alignment with former President Donald Trump’s foreign policy approach. He chaired Senate committees and led diplomatic trips that shaped U.S. relations in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. The remarks highlighted his long‑standing influence on international policy.
