In a speech to the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) in Las Vegas on Saturday, South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham proposed a mutual defense agreement with Israel since “an attack against Israel should be considered an attack against the United States.”
Graham said America should tell Israel’s enemies that if they intend “to destroy the one and only Jewish state, you have to come through us to get them.”
“It’s gonna be close,” the president said. “I think it’s gonna be close. Two good people. But I stood with your prime minister at the White House to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.”
“Some of you won’t like this, maybe, but I would love to see peace in the Middle East,” Trump said. He expressed confidence in his team of negotiators which includes his son-in-law, White House adviser Jared Kushner and Special Envoy to the Middle East Jason Greenblatt, saying that if they can’t broker peace in the Middle East, “nobody can.”
