Pop star's rendition of Israeli anthem draws tears, emotions at Brooklyn Nets game

Maccabi Ra’anana coach Yehu Orland told 'One Nation' about the Israeli national anthem sang at the Brooklyn Nets game.

Pop star Noa Kirel brought sparks of hope and reflection to Brooklyn Thursday when her beautiful rendition of the Israeli national anthem brought emotion to the Barclays Center during an exhibition game between the Brooklyn Nets and Israeli team Maccabi Ra'anana.

The Israeli team had only been in the U.S. for three days when tragedy struck their home country in the form of Hamas' surprise attack last Saturday, yet they are still playing their hearts out and inspiring those watching.

"My heart is broken," Yehu Orland, Maccabi Ra'anana's head coach, told FOX News on Saturday.

"I lost a good friend of mine, and I care about his family and about his kids… is it about basketball? Yeah, of course. It's hard to focus on basketball in those moments, but I chose that profession, and I will do it the best I can."

Orland's friend Eli Ginsburg served in the military for 23 years, but retired last month. As soon as the war started, he took up arms again to fight for his country, but lost his life.

Kilmeade, speaking to Orland, said, "You told me almost everyone in Israel knows somebody that was affected directly by the attacks. That's amazing."
