"100 percent [I'll be walking out with the Palestine flag]. Yeah, we've talked about it, they accepted it and there's nothing that's gonna stop me from doing it... It just means the world and especially Will Harris just did a documentary after [the last fight I carried the flag] and it went into the Palestinian Film Festival over here in Chicago. So, it's cool to see the exposure it's getting for the people."

Belal Muhammad describes impact of carrying the Palestine flag
Belal Muhammad recently described the impact of carrying the Palestine flag and noted that doing so helps shine a light on what is currently taking place there.
During the aforementioned interview, Muhammad mentioned others have messaged him asking if he could educate them on the issues, and also sounded off on those who ignore it:
"I've just been getting so many messages. People just wanting to know what's happening [in Palestine] just because they see me carrying that flag and wondering it what it means and what it means to me. If you're human, you want to know what's going on there. If you're human and you see it and you ignore it, you're not really human. You don't have a soul." [16:42]
