<p>Just one day before his funeral is set to take place in Washington, DC, video footage has emerged showing a gleeful Senator Lindsey Graham rejoicing at the launch of the <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/us" target="_blank">US</a>-Israeli war on <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/iran" target="_blank">Iran</a>, and even single-handedly offering US military involvement to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his war on <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/lebanon" target="_blank">Lebanon</a>.</p>
<p>The clips are from British filmmaker <a href="https://x.com/alexjholder" target="_blank">Alex Holder</a>, who has been following Graham for the last three years for a documentary on his relationship with President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. </p>
<p>Holder appears to have been granted access to staff meetings on Capitol Hill as well as discussions Graham had with national and foreign leaders, including the Crown Prince of <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/saudi-arabia" target="_blank">Saudi Arabia</a>, the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/lindsey-graham-iran-war-netanyahu-call-598b1e85" target="_blank">Wall Street Journal</a> reported on Monday.</p>
