Upcoming soccer games in Israel will include a moment of silence for the Brazilian players who perished in a plane crash yesterday in Colombia.

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.
