American boxer Floyd Mayweather, who expressed support for the State of Israel on social media, sent his private plane to Israel with food and protective equipment for Israeli soldiers. After the plane landed in Israel, soldiers of the elite Yahalom unit had an exciting talk with the athlete.
Floyd Mayweather talks to soldiers:
During the clip, Mayweather expressed personal support for the soldiers, as they hear him congratulating them from the other side. The equipment sent by the boxer to Israel includes watches, jackets, socks, gloves, toiletries, and more, as well as personal equipment for female combatants.
Mayweather uploaded a post to social media saying: “I stand with Israel against the Hamas terrorist,” he said, clarifying that Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people, but is instead a terrorist group targeting innocent people. “I stand for all humans and wish for the safe return of all Americans and Israelis and any human that were kidnapped as hostages during these horrific war crimes. This is not a time for politics.”
In a subsequent post, he wrote: “This is a time for safety first and foremost. God Bless America. God Bless Israel. God Bless Human Kind!”
