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

Following the visit, Graham noted that Trump wants to see an agreement on the release of hostages in the Gaza Strip even before he takes over the White House again.

I want people in Israel and the region to know that Trump is determined to release the hostages and supports the ceasefire, which includes an agreement to release the hostages. He is focused on the issue of hostages and wants the killing to stop and the fighting to end,

He also hopes that President Trump and The Joe Biden administration will work together during the transition period "to free hostages and achieve a cease-fire.

In addition, Graham responded to a statement by far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich that Trump's victory in the election encourages what he calls "voluntary emigration" of Palestinians from Gaza, so that half of the sector's 2.2 million residents leave within two years.

I think he (Smotrich. - ED.) should talk to Trump and hear what he wants. If you hadn't spoken to him, I wouldn't have attributed those words to him,

According to the publication, during his recent visit to the Middle East, Graham also met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. During the dialogue, the senator touched upon the topic of normalizing relations with Israel, which, according to him, should contain a "Palestinian component".
