Israeli mixed-martial artist Haim Gozali, who was once affiliated with Bellator, has given several blunt statements on the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Recently, the MMA fighter called out American pop star Kanye West for supporting Palestine and took credit for the 46-year-old rapper's name written on an Israeli missile, which is bound to be used against Gaza.
Gozali has been making headlines for writing well-known anti-Israel celebrities' names on missiles and bombs. In November, the MMA fighter wrote Khabib Nurmagomedov's name on a bomb for expressing support for Palestine. Gozali has named many other Muslim fighters names on bombs that are used on the military lines including Islam Makhachev, Khamzat Chimaev, and Belal Muhammad.
After reportedly getting banned on X, the 50-year-old Israeli recently returned to the social media platform and blasted Kanye West, who used antisemitic expressions in his songs over the past year. Gozali, also known as the Israeli Batman, posted a picture on X mentioning Kanye West's name encrypted on a missile and took the credit for the message that read, "Kanye West Flying to Gaza," mentioning his name in the end.
He wrote on X, " @kanyewest you don’t like us Jewish. So we don’t like you too !!!"
However, it is still unclear whether Haim wrote the message on the missile or whether it was done by some IDF personnel. But Gozali has taken responsibility for the act. On the other hand, American musician Kanye West hasn't commented yet on the MMA fighter's call-out.
