Robert Kraft has defended his approach to the Israel-Palestine conflict by highlighting initiatives he says are designed to bring Palestinians and Israelis together, as the billionaire faces renewed criticism following the controversy surrounding Macklemore's removal from Ed Sheeran's tour.
Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots and Gillette Stadium, said he has dedicated much of his life to building bridges between different communities. In a statement released amid the dispute, he pointed to efforts involving Palestinians and Israelis working together through business, job creation and relationship-building.
