U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham criticized on Monday the appointment of former Navy chief Eli Sharvit as head of the Shin Bet internal security agency, citing past remarks Sharvit made against President Donald Trump.
“There has never been a better supporter for the State of Israel than President Trump,” Graham posted on X. “The statements made by Eli Sharvit about President Trump and his polices [sic] will create unnecessary stress at a critical time. My advice to my Israeli friends is change course and do better vetting."
