Lindsey Graham: Netanyahu a great leader...not a good singer
The hawkish Senator from South Carolina said that he agrees with Prime Minister Netanyahu that Hamas must be removed from Gaza.
South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham met today (Wednesday) with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who wished him a Happy Birthday and even sang to him. Here's his full statement:
"Very good meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu and his team today. We discussed the importance of keeping the Iranian regime in a weakened state until they change their behavior toward Israel and the region, and toward the United States.
"We also talked about the mutual desire to continue to integrate the region politically and economically, moving toward the light away from the darkness. I completely support Israel’s position that Hamas must be removed from Gaza as part of any peace agreement and that Iran should recognize Israel’s right to exist as a prerequisite to any peace negotiations.
"Israel continues to be one of the foundational partners for the United States and I have a lot of admiration for the people of Israel and the state of Israel.
"P.S. Appreciated the birthday cake! Bibi is a great leader… but singer? Not so much."
