Tennis Star Ons Jabeur Pledges Portion of WTA Finals Prize Money to Palestinians Amid Ongoing Conflict

Tennis champion Ons Jabeur breaks into tears in post-match interview, calls her donation an act of humanity, not a political statement, as she voices anguish over the ongoing crisis in Gaza.

Tennis star Ons Jabeur has pledged to donate a portion of her prize money from the WTA Finals to support Palestinians, expressing her heartbreak over the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
In emotional post-match interviews, Jabeur emphasized that her donation was not a political message but a humanitarian act, urging for peace in the world.
After avenging her Wimbledon loss to Marketa Vondrousova with a 6-4, 6-3 straight set win at the WTA finals, Jabeur revealed her donation plan, stating that she couldn't be happy with just the win considering the global situation.
Jabeur, a three-time grand slam finalist and former world number two, is set to face group leader Iga Swiatek in her next match as she vies for a top four spot in the WTA Finals for the first time.
The Tunisia-born athlete, who has been very vocal about social issues, especially in the Middle East and North Africa, is known for using her platform to draw attention to various global crises.
