The Tunisian former world number two avenged her Wimbledon final loss to Marketa Vondrousova with a 6-4 6-3 straight set win, making a comeback in the semi-final race after Monday's loss to Coco Gauff.
In the post-match interview she fought back tears as she spoke about the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
“I am very happy with the win but I haven't been very happy lately. The situation in the world doesn't make me happy," the three-time grand slam finalist said.
"So I feel like, I am sorry," Jabeur said as she took a moment to regain composure.
"It’s very tough seeing children & babies dying every day. It’s heartbreaking. I have decided to donate part of my prize money to help the Palestinians. I can't be happy with this win."
"It is not a political message, it is humanity," she added. "I want peace in this world. That’s it."
She will face group leader Iga Swiatek in the last group stage match as she tries to reach the top four of the WTA Finals for the first time in her career, after a group stage elimination in 2022.
