Jerry Seinfeld on Palestine: “It Doesn’t Exist”

After the New York Knicks’ improbable comeback victory over the Spurs in the NBA Finals, an influencer caught Jerry Seinfeld leaving Madison Square Garden. He asked Seinfeld if he could “get a ‘Free Palestine?'” and after a chuckle, Seinfeld replied, “It doesn’t exist.” Watch the exchange below.

This isn’t a new position for Seinfeld, who in 2025 compared the “Free Palestine” movement to the KKK. Recognition of Palestinian statehood varies from country to country –156 of the 181 United Nations members do recognize Palestine (81%), but the United States is not one of them.

Jerry Seinfeld was asked to drop a Free Palestine after the Knicks game.

"It doesn't exist.”
