Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) wants his Democratic colleagues to make clear where they stand on President Trump’s landmark 20-point peace plan for Gaza.
Graham, 66, will introduce a resolution next week expressing that the Senate “supports President Donald J. Trump’s 20-point Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict, which has been approved by both Israel and Hamas and endorsed by regional Arab and Muslim partners and allies.”
The measure also “calls upon all parties to continue to work to implement the 20-point Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict.”
“I think it would be enormously beneficial for the Senate to speak with one voice in favor of President Trump’s 20-Point Peace Plan for the Middle East,” Graham told The Post Wednesday.
“The plan has been approved by Israel and endorsed by all major Arab nations. A strong bipartisan vote from the US Senate will only help its success.”
Trump, 79, announced the plan alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House Sept. 29.
Hamas agreed to release all remaining hostages Oct. 8 and the Israeli security cabinet backed the plan the following day.
The Trump plan, which ultimately calls for an international peacekeeping force in Gaza and a transitional government oversee by a “Board of Peace” chaired by the president himself, has been backed by major Arab players in the region — including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Turkey and Qatar.
Despite the initial cease-fire and release of 20 living Israeli hostages by Hamas, Democratic support for Trump’s initiative has been begrudging — with the likes of former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Kamala Harris not even willing to credit the president by name.
