White House lit up in Israeli flag colors after being criticized for botched response

The Biden administration lit up the White House on Monday night following Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) criticizing the president for not having shown solidarity with Israel following the terrorist attack on the country by Hamas.

“I’m urging the world to condemn Iran. I’m urging the Biden administration to cloak the White House tonight in the Israeli flag. You did it for Pride month. I want to see the Israeli flag over the White House,” Graham said during a Fox News appearance on Monday.

Graham cited other countries using the Israeli colors on the Sydney Opera House, No. 10 Downing St. in London, and the Brandenburg Gate in Germany.

Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro tore into the administration for their use of flags as well.

“First of all, other countries have the flag of Israel flying in their embassies. We’re talking about Australia, Austria, Beijing, Russia, Germany, France, U.K., and Bulgaria,” she said on The Five.

She added, “The White House was cloaked with pride flags for a month but not with the flag of Israel. Eleven Americans died over there that we know of. We don’t know how many are hostage.”

The White House then announced Monday night that the colors of the Israeli flag would be displayed after sundown.

“The White House will be illuminated in the blue and white colors of the Israeli flag as a symbol of the United States’ 75-year relationship. This symbolizes the ironclad support and solidarity of the American people with the people of Israel in the wake of the barbaric terrorist attacks committed by Hamas,” the White House said in a statement Monday night.
