US Senator Lindsey Graham denied rumors about the “death of the UAE President”

“He is not only alive, but also healthy,” Lindsey Graham wrote on social network X. He said that their meeting lasted an hour and a half. “To those who feel the need to attack Mohammed bin Zayed and the UAE for doing the right thing, do so at your own peril.”

Lindsey Graham explains why he respects the UAE President: “Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s decision to uphold the Abraham Accords and modernize his country is the most significant change in the Middle East in my lifetime.”

The American senator adds that President Trump would like to see the region more like the UAE “than the ayatollah regime.” “The region can only move forward if it strives for the light rather than trying to return to darkness… I strongly disagree with those who believe that the region will prosper if the Ayatollah regime survives. If this religious Nazi regime survives and the people are removed from power and continue to be oppressed, it will jeopardize everything we have worked for, including the Abraham Accords,” Graham wrote.

The senator said that from the UAE he was heading to Saudi Arabia.

On February 16, Lindsey Graham visited Jerusalem, where he met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Lindsey Graham is a member of the Republican Party, senator from South Carolina, one of the most consistent supporters of Israel in the US Congress. Graham opposed the Iran nuclear deal, supported moving the US embassy to Jerusalem and co-sponsored legislation to combat the BDS movement. The senator regularly visits Israel and has repeatedly stated the need to provide military assistance to the Jewish state without any restrictions. In recent months, Graham has called on the United States to support Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear program if diplomatic efforts fail.
