The Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is expressing his concern about the recent violence in the Middle East following a surprise attack by Hamas on Israel.
In a joint statement with his longtime friend and CEO of SpringHill Company, Maverick Carter, James condemned the actions that resulted in the loss of over 1,000 lives in Israel.
“The devastation in Israel is tragic and unacceptable,” the Wednesday statement read. “The murder and violence against innocent people by Hamas is terrorism. The SpringHill Company family sends our deepest condolences to Israel and the Jewish community. We pray for peace in the region and reiterate our continued commitment to fight hate in all its forms.
“We all must work to ensure this tragedy does not spread even more hate, racism, and antisemitism.”
