Sen. Lindsey Graham’s death is a major blow to Israel’s efforts to persuade the U.S. to keep up its military campaign against Iran, as well as to other Israeli goals in Washington, according to those familiar with U.S. strategy in the region. The 71-year-old Republican from South Carolina was long one of Israel’s biggest champions. He backed the Middle Eastern nation on numerous fronts, from securing arms deals with the U.S. to trying to normalize relations with the Saudis. Above all, Graham — a national security hawk — supported Israel against the Islamist regime in Tehran, at times advocating for military strikes even when President Donald Trump hesitated. Graham’s close ties to Trump and his senior status in Congress, where he had sway over foreign policy spending, enhanced his influence. Graham’s death is especially untimely for Israel because the country, where he was a frequent guest, has been bleeding support among Americans. Both Democrats and Republicans have had growing frustrations with Israel, especially over its heavy-handed military campaign in Gaza and its guns-first approach to Iran. Israelis “always knew that Lindsey was trying to integrate Israel into the region and to combat Iranian influence. To lose that as a permanent aspect — someone who would be on TV, using his gavel with that authority, everything else, and to lose that — that hurts,” said one Middle East analyst with ties to Israeli officials who was granted anonymity to discuss sensitive conversations. On Monday, Trump listed Israel among those “who really lost” from Graham’s death. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the late senator on Sunday as a man who “never wavered,” including on stopping Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Asked for comment on Graham’s role in Trump’s Iran policy, White House spokesperson Anna Kelly praised Graham but said, “The president listens to many opinions on any given issue, including Iran, but ultimately decides based on what he feels is best for the country.” Iran’s state-controlled media, meanwhile, reacted with glee to the loss of one of their biggest opponents in Washington. One article was headlined “Death of the Merchant of Death.” Graham’s office did not immediately reply to requests for comment. While Graham was known for his support of military action against Iran, he also was careful about staying on Trump’s good side, former U.S. diplomats and analysts said. He expressed support for Trump’s efforts to end the war with Iran via a diplomatic agreement, but made it clear he was skeptical the effort would succeed. His skepticism was shared by the Israeli government, which views the Iranian regime as an inherently unreliable diplomatic partner. Tom Nides, who served as a U.S. ambassador to Israel during the Biden administration, said Graham also was a powerful voice pushing for the establishment of diplomatic ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia — something Netanyahu badly wants to achieve. Graham had earlier spoken out harshly against Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman over his alleged role in the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. But, after a process that included talks with Biden administration officials, Graham made up with the prince in 2023 and began pushing for Israel and Saudi Arabia to establish relations. The Saudi-Israel normalization project has been largely sidelined in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza and Saudi demands that Israel support a pathway to a Palestinian state. Nides and others pointed to Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) as possible successors who could advocate for Israel in the same way Graham did. Both are hawkish on national security, especially when it comes to dealing with Tehran, but they are not as close to Trump and are considered less personable by Democrats. “Graham is an unusual figure because Democrats liked him, too. I mean, they got pissed at him, but they liked him,” Nides said. Cruz and Cotton’s offices did not immediately reply to requests for comment. Fred Fleitz, who served as a National Security Council chief of staff in Trump’s first term, suggested that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA Director John Ratcliffe are two already prominent voices who might become even more influential on Iran in the days ahead, although neither is believed to have been as gung-ho about going to war as Graham had been. “Trump listens to a lot of people, but he clearly listens to Senator Graham,” Fleitz said. “He would call him for advice, and Graham would call him constantly to try to give him his counsel to help him push responsible national security policy.” Jerry Wu and Megan Messerly contributed to this report.

PARIS — Nine European countries on Monday agreed to back an ambitious Ukrainian effort to develop a domestic missile defense system that, if successful, would reduce reliance on U.S. technology. Ukraine depends on the United States for PAC-2 and PAC-3 Patriot interceptors to take down incoming Russian missiles. But the U.S. and its allies fired hundreds of them in the early phase of the war against Iran, straining supplies. During recent Russian attacks, Ukraine has run dangerously low on interceptors and has been unable to shoot down ballistic missiles. The shortages have strengthened the push for homegrown capabilities. As part of a new “purely defensive Anti-Ballistic Missile Coalition,” Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom will back the Ukraine-led Project Freyja missile defense system being developed by missile-maker Fire Point. It is designed to integrate with existing NATO-standard radars, command posts and data links from all the participating countries rather than acting as a standalone national system. The goal is to deliver a cheaper, mass-produced alternative to the Patriot PAC-3. “What we are building here is not only for Ukraine. It is a demonstration that Europe can provide for its own security, defend its interests and act with force,” French President Emmanuel Macron said, adding that the meeting was also attended by representatives of the European defense companies. The Freyja project is not without risks, especially given the recent collapse of another ambitious cross-border military partnership, the Future Combat Air System , the Franco-German-Spanish next-generation fighter project. And despite major advances in the Ukrainian defense sector during the war — especially in drone technology — developing and fielding Freyja poses significant technical and industrial challenges. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he hoped the system would be operational in a year. U.S. President Donald Trump also agreed in principle with Zelenskyy last week to allow Ukraine to build its own Patriot interceptors; only Germany and Japan have such permission. But the deal still needs to be negotiated and approved and then complex production set up inside Ukraine, meaning it will not provide immediate relief against Russian attacks. Zelenskyy underlined that Ukraine can’t wait, saying his country needs 300 Patriot interceptors for the upcoming winter. “[Patriot interceptors] are high-quality, but there are not enough of them,” Zelenskyy said in Paris alongside Macron as well as his British and German counterparts. “America already needs to support the arsenals of its allies, to defend itself, to defend its bases from attacks from Iran.” Macron also said that France will do more to boost Ukraine’s missile defense, granting Kyiv a license to build Aster interceptors, as well as SCALP cruise missiles and A2SM bombs. He added that France would give Ukraine 16 Rafale fighter jets in 2028-2029 and an unspecified number of SAMP/T air defense system batteries “in the next weeks.” Macron also said joint military exercises would take place in countries near Ukraine. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who traveled to Paris as one of his final acts in office, confirmed that the U.K. will join the EU’s €90 billion loan for Ukraine, two-thirds of which will go to defense. That means British companies will be eligible for contracts under the scheme.
