Boxing megastar Ryan Garcia announced he will soon meet with Israeli Prime Benjamin Netanyahu and discuss ways to help children in war-ravaged Gaza.
“I have a meeting with Bibi Netanyahu within two weeks,” Garcia, 25, told entrepreneur Patrick Bet-David on Tuesday’s episode of the PBD Podcast. “Wants to show me Gaza, wants to show me around. He wants to talk to me, and I told him, like, I just want to propose how can we help children on both sides.”
Garcia shocked the world Saturday in a stunning upset against previously undefeated World Boxing Council junior welterweight world champion Devin Haney, and much of his pre- and post-fight media availability centered on the protection of children against trafficking and violence.
The boxer echoed this sentiment as the motivation to go to a war-weary Gaza.
“I’m all about supporting children,” he said. “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!'” Garcia continued. “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.”
In March, Garcia posted to X that he would donate upwards of $20 million to Gaza following his fight with Haney, and he told Bet-David the details regarding a donation are still being worked out.

“You can hate on me all you want,” Garcia said. “If I’m going to send $20 million to Gaza, I’m gonna send $20 million to Israel if it helps out kids.
“It all needs to be addressed,” he continued. “So, that’s my whole stance on it. Again, I’m a Christian, of course I’m going to love Israel and the Holy Land, but, Palestine people, I have a heart for them. Jesus had a heart for the Gentiles. … I love everybody, and I’ll leave it at that.”
