Graham to Netanyahu: Hamas is not disarming, it is rearming
US Senator Lindsey Graham told PM Netanyahu in Jerusalem that Hamas is rearming, not disarming, and Hezbollah is producing more weapons, an unacceptable.
Jerusalem, 21 December, 2025 (TPS-IL) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met today, Sunday, in his office in Jerusalem with US Senator Lindsey Graham (Republican, South Carolina).
Prime Minister Netanyahu, at the beginning of the meeting, called Graham a, “great friend of Israel and a dear personal friend. We have no better friends than him. Welcome.”
“I came here with a goal – we had a lot of achievements in 2025,” said Graham. “I want to make sure that 2026 will be a year of peace and of beating the bad guy.”
“My impression is that Hamas is not disarming, it is rearming,” he added. “My impression is that they are trying to establish their control over Gaza, not give it up. And my impression is also that Hezbollah is trying to produce more weapons. This is an unacceptable result.”
Prime Minister Netanyahu responded:
“You’re right about both things. You’re usually right. I could also say always, but you have to leave a certain margin.”
