WASHINGTON — Republican US Senator Lindsey Graham calls on US President Donald Trump to join Israel in striking Hezbollah in Lebanon.

“Fly with Israel and go after Hezbollah, which has American blood on its hands. Not only take the mothership of Iran. Also take the proxy of Hezbollah,” Graham tells reporters on Capitol Hill.
