Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Israel's government is mourning the loss of a key ally, as Lindsey Graham, 71, died Saturday evening from a cardiac arrest at his South Carolina home, according to rescue teams cited by NBC News
- •Netanyahu, Herzog, and Ben-Gvir have all paid tribute to Graham as one of Israel's greatest friends, with Netanyahu considering attending the funeral
