US senator Lindsey Graham urges military action if Hamas, Hezbollah remained armed

Senator Graham warned Hamas and Hezbollah risk collapse of ceasefire by rearming and consolidating power, urging President Trump to authorize military action if disarmament deadlines are missed.

  • On Dec. 21, 2025, Senator Lindsey Graham met Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem and warned Hamas and Hezbollah should face renewed military action if they fail to disarm during his visit to Israel.
  • A fragile ceasefire has held since October after two years of war in Gaza, while mediators including the United States, Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey press Phase Two with Israeli withdrawal, an interim authority, and Gaza demilitarisation.
  • At a press conference in Israel, Graham said, `Put Hamas on a time clock` and warned `Ninety days after the ceasefire, they are consolidating power in Gaza`; he urged, `I would encourage President Trump to unleash Israel to go finish off Hamas`.
  • Graham warned of coordinated military options, saying recent strikes killed six people and he proposed joint operations with Lebanon, Israel, and the U.S. if Hezbollah keeps heavy weapons while rejecting Turkey's role.
  • He warned a political path is blocked while Hamas remains armed, saying stabilisation force cannot operate until Hamas disarms, and highlighted Iran's missile and nuclear rebuild risks.
