PM Netanyahu says Sen. Lindsey Graham “personified traditional American values” and was an “American patriot”

“He was unabashedly for America, and he was unabashedly against the enemies of America, and he spoke what he thought.”

“You know, he had a way with him. He had this charming southern drawl, and you knew something was coming when he would say, well, I’m just a poor old southern boy, and then you know he’s coming in with the most penetrating insight that few people can deny, and that everybody recognizes as the truth.”

I really, really thought the world of him, and I think the world has lost a great human being, America has lost a great senator, and we have lost a great friend.”
