Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) expressed on NBC’s Meet the Press that Israel should take whatever actions necessary to ensure its survival, despite doubts from U.S. military officials.
During the discussion, host Kristen Welker questioned the need for such powerful bombs, suggesting that more precise methods could be employed.
Graham defended Israel’s actions by referencing past decisions made by the U.S. to use nuclear weapons in war. He argued that in times of dire need, extreme measures may be necessary to protect a nation.
When Welker mentioned the advancements in technology that could allow for more precise targeting, Graham dismissed the expertise of military officials, insisting that Israel should do whatever it takes to secure its existence as a Jewish state.
The conversation highlighted the ongoing debate around the use of military force and aid as a means to influence international policies.
