“Khamzat delivered a touching victory speech. His first words were in favor of all people who find themselves today in a situation of oppression. He particularly singled out Palestine and, being at the epicenter of the attention of the entire sports community, strongly condemned the violence against “The inhabitants of the Gaza Strip. Chimaev thus showed how much his heart as a true Muslim suffers for the brotherly Palestinian people. This deserves deep respect,” Kadyrov wrote on his Telegram channel.
On October 7, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict intensified. For this reason, all sporting and public events in Israel have been canceled. According to official data, more than 7,000 civilians have already died on both sides of the conflict.
