Washington received two wartime leaders on the same day — Ukraine's Zelensky and Israel's Netanyahu — drawn first by the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham, and then by separate, consequential meetings with President Trump. Graham, whose hawkish instincts and personal relationships had made him a quiet bridge between the White House and two embattled nations, left in his passing an unexpected diplomatic opening. In the space between mourning and strategy, both leaders arrived to make their cases for continued American commitment — each carrying the weight of a war that could not wait.
