Graham: Not possible for Mideast to be normalized until Hezbollah taken off the table

Hardline Republican U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham has hoped that Hamas “will say yes” to U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to end the conflict in Gaza.

“As to a new Middle East that embraces normalization between Israel and the region, I also hope that day will come. However, it is not possible for the Middle East to be normalized until Hezbollah is taken off the table,” Graham added in a post on X.

“A Middle East with Hezbollah cannot be normal because Hezbollah is a fanatical, religious terrorist group with American blood on its hands and it is dedicated to the destruction of Israel,” Graham warned.

“To the region: If you want normalization, disarm Hezbollah one way or another,” he added.
