Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) predicted a potential treaty with Saudi Arabia could be good for Israel and President Joe Biden.
on Sunday to address Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s upcoming trip to Saudi Arabia. The South Carolina senator is fresh from his own visit to the country, where he facilitated a conversation with Prince Mohammed Bin Salman and Trump in a phone call.
“We‘re going to have an election here in November, but can we save some lives before November?” Graham said of the treaty. “I‘m confident that the Abraham Accords put in place the possibility that still, if we can get a deal, between Saudi Arabia and Israel, it ends the Arab-Israeli conflict. It isolates the Iranians. It creates some hope for the Palestinians. It provides security in a real way to Israel. Yeah, I don‘t think anybody on the Republican side is going to undercut the deal.
“I‘m here on national television telling the Biden administration, if you can land this deal I think you‘ll have a lot of Republicans’ support in the United States Senate for a treaty between Saudi Arabia and the United States,” Graham went on. “Cause it’d be good for Israel, it‘d be good for the world. And I think President Trump will get his fair share credit by having the Abraham Accords as the foundation of this. So I‘m not worried about that.

From October 7 to March 20 this year, the total Türkiye-Israel trade volume fell by nearly 33 percent, according to information compiled by the Figures sourced from the Trade Ministry and compiled by Anadolu reveal a substantial 33 percent decrease in Türkiye's trade interaction with Israel from October 7, 2023, to March 20, 2024. Meanwhile, Türkiye's exports to Israel fell 30 percent, while its imports decreased by 43.4 percent. Turkish nationals and companies have been gradually cancelling sales and orders with Israel, while trade is mostly with private firms, including some international ones, rather than state enterprises. Goods sent from Türkiye to Palestine pass through Israel and its customs gates due to Palestine's lack of its own customs facilities. Goods destined for Palestine are required to be labelled for Israel or include the phrase "via Israel." In addition, Israel does not recognise legal relations between Palestine and third countries, while it refuses to allow commercial transactions through the Rafah Border Crossing with Egypt.
