Netanyahu and Zelenskyy Attend Lindsey Graham Funeral in Washington
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are attending the funeral of late Senator Lindsey Graham in Washington, D.C. Both leaders plan to meet with former U.S. President Donald Trump during their visit. The meetings offer an opportunity for both leaders to advance their agendas amid ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. Netanyahu's visit follows his February trip to Washington before tensions escalated into a war involving Iran. Zelenskyy is expected to discuss peace proposals aimed at ending Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, while Netanyahu will focus on Israel's security concerns related to the paused conflict with Iran. The two leaders also aim to reinforce bipartisan support for their respective nations. Graham died from an aortic dissection after returning from a trip to Ukraine where he met Zelenskyy about U.S.-Russia sanctions. His funeral services will be held in Washington on Tuesday and then in South Carolina the following day.
