Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has publicly criticized President Trump for his condemnation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following an Israeli airstrike in Dahieh. Trump had previously expressed disapproval of the strike, a move that drew immediate backlash from some within his own party. Graham strongly disagreed with Trump’s stance, defending Israel’s right to defend itself. The airstrike in Dahieh, a Hezbollah stronghold in Lebanon, was reportedly in response to recent rocket fire towards Israel. This public disagreement highlights a growing rift between Graham and Trump regarding foreign policy, specifically concerning Israel and its actions in the region. The incident underscores the complex dynamics within the Republican party regarding support for Israel. Graham’s rebuke is a significant show of support for Netanyahu amidst international scrutiny.
