Sen. Lindsey Graham expressed his loss of confidence in Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin due to his recent comments about the Israel-Hamas war. Graham criticized Austin’s remarks about Israel’s tactics and their impact on civilians in Gaza, calling the Defense Secretary “naïve.”
In remarks Saturday in California, Austin mentioned the importance of protecting civilians in urban warfare, stating that Israel’s failure to do so could result in a strategic defeat. Graham, in response, emphasized the deeply rooted hostility towards Jews among Palestinians and criticized Austin’s advice to Israel.
Graham stood firm in his stance, reinforcing his lack of confidence in Austin and drawing parallels with the United States’ response to the 9/11 attacks, suggesting that Israel should not be expected to adhere to impossible standards set by the Defense Secretary.
