Floyd Mayweather is showing his support for Israel by putting his money where his mouth is!
The billionaire sportsman has deployed his $50 million private jet to Israeli shores to help them amid the tragic Hamas invasion.
Floyd Mayweather Deployed His Pilot To Fly Mayweather To Israel
The boxing champion has sent his private jet to the front lines in Israel and it is loaded with supplies. Its pilots AJ Ramey, Chris Javier, Sam Kniskern, and Freeman Blakney are set to fly the plane around the world this weekend.

Mayweather does the big charity drive himself but works with relief organizations there. The supplies to be delivered include water, food, and bulletproof vests for the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) and civilians.
Just before dispatching his private jet, the undefeated boxer broke his silence on the ongoing conflict via Instagram. Alongside a photo of his hand, painted with an Israeli flag, he wrote, “I stand with Israel and Jews around the world. I condemn antisemitism in any form. I stand for Peace. I stand for Human Rights! Violence Is Not The Answer.”
However, the 15-time world champion locked his comments on his post, as fans have conflicting views on supporting either Israel or Palestine. Mayweather joins a number of Hollywood celebrities who have spoken out in support of Israel.
Comedian Amy Schumer took to Instagram to post a viral video of a Hamas attack that has reportedly claimed more than 1,000 lives, “Jews are the only group not allowed to defend themselves. This has nothing to do with occupation. Hamas does not want the conquest to end. They want to destroy Israel. They are financed by Iran, which is trying to destroy the peace agreement.”
Israeli-born manager Guy Oseary also posted about the attack, writing, “This is horrible.. this killing is celebrated by the government/regime in Iran. Many women, children, and old people were taken from their homes and kidnapped. I always pray for peace. ALWAYS. I always speak for my Jewish community and also speak for my Arab brothers. I have no words today. Just heartbroken. Only tears.”
Actress Gal Gadot, who is from Israel and served in the army before coming to Hollywood, broke her silence about the horrific incident. He shared a news clip stating that Hamas militants had kidnapped several Israeli civilians and soldiers during the attack along with a message that read:
“Hamas is holding hostages, controlling bases and settlements in Israel. There were more than 1,500 wounded and fierce fighting still continued. ‘I heard their voices and they knocked on the door. I am with my two little children.’ My heart aches. Pray for all those who are suffering.”
Bethenny Frankel Seeks Donations For Israel
Mayweather isn’t the only one backing up his support with action. While “The Real Housewives of New York City” star Bethenny Frankel may not have a private jet to fly to Israel, she’s using her influence to make a difference.
As The Blast reports, the former Bravo star showed her support for Israelis by posting a video asking for donations from well-meaning fans who want to help those affected by the war. “As with Ukraine when it started, I will not tolerate disputes in my comments and discussions about things that do not include helping people who are human, [their] the human condition, innocent victims, and people who lost their homes, family members,” he said in an Instagram Story clip.
He continued, “We don’t need you to collect items for donations from big companies around the world. We usually provide infrastructure where the disaster, if it is so far. And then individuals will come to get help from us for their specific endeavors, locations, schools, and wherever they need it.”

However, Frankel urged his followers to donate money to the organization instead. “We have cargo planes that are going to be filled with aid coming into the area and a lot of people are asking about donating to a very specific charity, the hospital but their concern is that they’re not 501c3 so they’re going to take a tax hit. So, we donate to certain other people based on individual needs,” he said.
