Netanyahu and Zelensky Attend Sen. Graham’s Funeral in Washington

HeadlineJul 29, 2026

In Washington, D.C., Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky attended a memorial service for Republican Senator Lindsey Graham. They also had meetings with President Trump. After his meeting, Netanyahu had posted a video, boasting that he had “one of the best conversations” with President Trump. Meanwhile, in an unusual move, President Trump did not invite the press for a photo op or questions after the meeting. Since President Trump returned to office, Netanyahu has made seven trips to the U.S. Protesters gathered near the White House.

Bita: “And he is the reason for the illegal war that has started on my homeland of Iran, that is also currently being bombarded. And every time he comes to visit, our people, our countries get bombarded again. And we are here to make sure that our voices are heard and he knows that we don’t want him here. He is not welcome here. We know that he’s a war criminal. We want bombs to stop falling on our people.”
