Graham urges Trump to back Biden’s talks with Saudi Arabia.
Sen. Lindsey Graham Urges Trump to Support Biden’s Negotiations with Saudi Arabia
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has called on former President Donald Trump to throw his support behind President Joe Biden’s major peace proposal between Saudi Arabia and Israel. Graham believes that increased cooperation between the United States and the kingdom is crucial for the stability of the Middle East and national security.
“I told President Trump, listen, this is the natural extension of the Abraham Accords, and if we can do it, let’s do it,” Graham expressed. “It doesn’t matter how it gets done, on whose watch it gets done. It’d be a good thing for the stability of the Middle East and our own national security, and President Trump deserves his fair share of credit.”
Graham emphasized that Trump’s endorsement could be instrumental in gaining the necessary support from the Senate, as many Democrats are skeptical of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. With Republicans potentially following Trump’s lead, they may be Biden’s best chance of getting the deal approved.
Graham Highlights the Importance of the Abraham Accords
The South Carolina senator referred to the Abraham Accords, a historic peace agreement between Israel and several Arab states. Graham, who had recently visited Saudi Arabia in April, discussed the matter with Trump during their conversation.
Jared Kushner, widely recognized as one of the key architects of the Abraham Accords, also encouraged Trump to support Biden’s deal. Graham noted that the Biden administration views Kushner as a valuable asset in their efforts.
“Jared Kushner has been very helpful. He had some ideas for the Palestinians (in the context of an Israeli-Saudi deal). I know that he’s offered to help. I think the White House sees him as helpful,” Graham revealed.
Overall, Graham believes that bipartisan support for Biden’s negotiations with Saudi Arabia is crucial for the stability of the Middle East and the United States’ national security interests.
