Summary
Netanyahu leaves Israel on Monday for Washington, where he will meet Trump the next day and attend memorial events for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham.
Tuesday's Washington service is part of a two-day tribute to Graham, with additional events scheduled July 29 in Columbia and Pickens County, South Carolina.
Netanyahu called Graham a "dear friend" and said the senator believed Israel's and America's security were inseparable, echoing praise from U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee for Graham's support of the alliance.
The visit comes as U.S.-Israeli military coordination remains in focus after joint operations against Iran on Feb. 28 and amid 13 days of U.S. strikes on Iranian targets and Israeli clashes with Hezbollah.
