It is noted that this week the senator visited Israel and met with senior officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

At the end of the visit, Graham said that Trump wants to see an agreement on the release of hostages in the Gaza Strip before he takes the White House again.

According to the publication, during his recent visit to the Middle East, Graham also met with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman.
