A senior Republican on the Senate Appropriations Committee, Mr Graham met
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Benny Gantz during a trip to Israel. The committee oversees government spending, including foreign military aid.
Mr Graham said Iron Dome had saved thousands of lives during last month s rocket attacks and predicted Israel s request would find favour with
President Joe Biden and Congress, which is narrowly controlled by Mr Biden s Democrats.
“There s been a big dust-up over the last engagement between Hamas and the state of Israel in the United States, but I m here to tell you that there s a wide and deep support for Israel among the Democratic Party,” Mr Graham said.
