WASHINGTON — Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said in an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday that he believes there is no way for Israel to safely negotiate an end to the war with Hamas and that Israel would take over Gaza, comparing the move to U.S. actions at the end of World War II.

Main Idea: Sen. Lindsey Graham said Israel cannot safely negotiate an end to the war with Hamas and should take Gaza by force, while President Donald Trump has come to a similar view.
Key Points:
Graham’s call for an Israeli takeover and stalled ceasefire talks may keep the Gaza war going, which can raise fuel and food costs, deepen market worries, and increase pressure on US taxpayers and voters.
A clearer push for control could, if it ever works, bring a more stable security plan and eventually reduce war risk for households and businesses.
