Watch: Knesset Speaker opens session honoring Lindsey Graham

The Knesset held a minute of silence on Wednesday to honor Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who passed away on July 11 at age 71 after a sudden illness. Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana stated, "In honor of one of the greatest friends the State of Israel has ever had, members of the Knesset from both sides of the aisle will now rise for a moment of silence to pay our respects to the legendary Sen. Lindsey Graham." Graham, a staunch supporter of Israel, was serving his fourth term and had recently won the Republican primary for a fifth term. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed that he and his wife "grieve with the American people over the loss of our dear friend, Senator Lindsey Graham."
