US boxing legend Floyd Mayweather announces his support for Israel and sends aid to the country on his private jet.

“I stand with Israel against the Hamas terrorists. Hamas do not represent the people of Palestine but are a terrorist group that are attacking innocent lives! 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,” Mayweather says in an Instagram post along with a picture of himself in Jerusalem.

“I stand with Israel and Jews all around the world. I condemn antisemitism at all cost. I stand for Peace. I stand for Human Rights! Terrorism Is Never The Answer,” a second post says with a fist in the colors of the Israeli flag.

Media reports say Mayweather is sending a shipment of aid to Israel on his private jet.

TMZ says the shipment consists of everything from “food and water to bulletproof vests for the IDF  and civilians.”
