The musician wrote thus on his Instagram page; “Israel is at war now and it’s very sad. It started as soon as I and my team took off from Tel Aviv to head back home. So guys !!! I really appreciate your concern. I’m safe. But please we need peace in the world right now!!! We don’t want innocent people dying, we just want to LIVE AND LOVE #prayforisrael. LOVE YOU O.”

“Being shown love all the way in ISRAEL is RARE and I’m really grateful for it – I’ve received more love, respect and recognition outside my country and I’ve made peace with that. I’m so happy to be back on the road doing what I love, seeing the people who love me and giving them back my love and dedication. I pray God continues to give me the strength and success to keep making dem nay sayers mad. THANK YOU ISRAEL.” Ruger added.
