Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) expressed his support for the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah.
“I am very pleased to hear that a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah has been reached regarding the conflict in Lebanon. Well done to all those involved in reaching this agreement,” Graham remarked.
He also acknowledged the efforts of the Biden administration, with support from former President Trump, in making the ceasefire possible. “I appreciate the hard work of the Biden Administration, supported by President Trump, to make this ceasefire a reality,” he added.
Graham went on to emphasize the importance of the ceasefire, stating, “This ceasefire will protect Israel from another October 7th and will give the people of Lebanon a break from the fighting. My hope is that we can soon achieve a ceasefire in Gaza and allow peaceful solutions to replace endless conflict,” he concluded.
Earlier, Rep. Mike Waltz, who is expected to serve as National Security Adviser in a future Trump administration, also commented on the ceasefire. He shared his thoughts on X, writing, “Everyone is coming to the table because of President Trump.”
He further explained that Trump’s leadership had sent a strong message to the world, saying, “This,” he added, is because, “his resounding victory sent a clear message to the rest of the world that chaos won’t be tolerated. I’m glad to see concrete steps towards de-escalation in the Middle East.”
However, Waltz also made it clear that Iran remains the main source of instability in the region. “But,” he emphasized, “let’s be clear: The Iran Regime is the root cause of the chaos and terror that has been unleashed across the region. We will not tolerate the status quo of their support for terrorism.”
