Multiple outlets report that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are set to attend a memorial service and funeral for U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham in Washington. Graham, a South Carolina Republican, is remembered for his close involvement in foreign policy, including strong support for Israel and Ukraine. He dies suddenly on July 11 at age 71. PBS NewsHour reports that Graham is honored during services in Washington, where he is described as a tireless advocate and a prominent figure on the world stage. It also says President Donald Trump eulogizes Graham after hosting two of Graham’s key international allies—Netanyahu and Zelenskyy—earlier in the day. NDTV similarly notes the scheduled attendance of Trump, Zelenskyy, and Netanyahu for the funeral, positioning it as an extension of the international leaders’ engagement around Graham’s death. Across sources, the central focus is Graham’s role in U.S. foreign policy and the attendance by high-profile allies at memorial events following his death.
