Ryan Garcia, a figure who has long been in the limelight, has once again captured our attention. This time, it’s not for his boxing prowess, but for his deep empathy towards the ongoing war in Gaza and the plight of the Palestinian people, a more serious issue that he is now championing.
In a recent episode of the PBD Podcast with host Patrick Bet-David, García delved into the ongoing situation in Gaza. He was questioned about a post he shared in March, where he pledged to give an astounding $20 million to Gaza after his fight with Haney.
Thank you for watching
García, who is scheduled to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in two weeks, per his own words, remains steadfast in his commitment. He plans to donate $20 million, a sum that could potentially make a significant difference in the lives of the children affected by the conflict.
I’m all about supporting children. I’m not part of Hamas. I love Israel. Israel loves me. I love people from Gaza and Palestine. You know, I know everybody gets so, ‘Oh, you say Palestine then you can’t say Israel! Bro, at the end of the day, I’m here to save the kids. However I could do that, I’m going to do it, you know, on both sides. You can hate on me all you want. If I’m going to send $20 million to Gaza, I’m gonna send $20 million to Israel if it helps out kids.
