Israeli PM's Office Issues Formal Tribute To Lindsey Graham
The official @IsraeliPM account called Graham a patriot within hours of his death, a head-of-state eulogy rarely given to a foreign senator.
- Posted 07:34 UTC July 12 from the government's official @IsraeliPM account, not a personal one.
- Statement reads: 'Israel has lost one of its greatest friends.'
- Statement continues: 'America has lost a great patriot,' addressing both nations at once.
Why it matters: A head of government eulogizing a foreign senator by name measures his real weight in state affairs, not sentiment.
