Floyd Mayweather uses private plane to send supplies to Israel with relief group
Boxer Floyd Mayweather is supplying supplies to Israel via a private jet following the Hamas attacks as the conflict with Palestine continues.
The former world champion has been one of the most vocal supporters of Israel after an estimated 1,200 citizens were killed in towns near the Gaza Strip. Now the boxing icon has arranged for a private plane to carry supplies to the region in a further show of support for the Israeli people.
In a bid to get aid to those caught up in the conflict, he chartered the aircraft after teaming up with a relief organisation, according to TMZ. The report contends that Mayweather's pilots AJ Ramey, Chris Javier, Sam Kniskern, and Freeman Blakney have been tasked with flying the aid to the Middle East.
It is claimed that on board the plane are a host of different supplies, including food and water, as well as bulletproof vests for the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) and civilians. This is the latest act of this kind from Mayweather, who also gave his support to the victims of the Maui fires over the summer.

In that instance, the 46-year-old helped some 70 families with food, shelter, and transportation after the wildfires in Hawaii which killed an estimated 98 people.
Now, Mayweather has joined a host of celebrities in condemning the actions of Hamas, taking to his social media to give his support to the Israeli people. On his Instagram page, he posted a picture of of himself on a previous visit to Jerusalem, with the caption: "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."

The boxer is not the only sports star to have pledged his support for Israel, with Arsenal defender Oleksandr Zinchenko posting that he 'stands with Israel' on his Instagram page.
