Israel's top diplomat, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has postponed his scheduled visit to the United States after the memorial service for Senator Lindsey Graham was pushed back.

The prime minister was expected to discuss regional security and reinforce the U.S.-Israel alliance before attending the funeral. The shift now leaves Washington without a high‑level Israeli presence during a critical period of Middle‑East tensions.
