Sen. Lindsey Graham has publicly criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to appoint Vice Adm. (res.) Eli Sharvit as head of the Shin Bet. Sharvit, who has previously criticized President Trump's climate policies, has raised concerns among some US lawmakers regarding the impact of his views on US-Israel relations, particularly at a precarious political time. Graham's remarks suggest that the nomination could strain ties between the two nations, amid pressures on Netanyahu to reconsider. Sharvit also participated in protests against Israel's judicial reforms, complicating his suitability for the role.
Graham's criticism highlights concerns over Sharvit's appointment as it may disrupt US-Israel relations, given Sharvit's previous criticisms of Trump and domestic protests.
Netanyahu's potential reconsideration of Sharvit's nomination reflects pressure from Washington and internal dissent among his allies, signaling unrest in leadership decisions.
