Just six of the 77 people on board survived the crash of the charter flight, which was taking players and coaches from the Chapecoense soccer team for a match against Colombia’s Atletico Nacional.
The gesture comes at the request of Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon, Channel 2 reports.
“Every sports fan in Israel stands by your side at this difficult time,” Kahlon tells his Brazilian counterpart.
