Actress Gal Gadot, who previously served as a combat trainer in the Israeli Defense Forces, has called on the world to take a stand in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine. In the wake of a recent terror attack that claimed many innocent lives, Gadot has expressed her support for Israel and urged others to do the same. She has also asked her followers to contribute to funds for those affected by the attacks. In addition, Gadot shared a video of U2’s recent concert in Las Vegas, where the band paid tribute to the victims of a music festival attack in Israel.
Gal Gadot, the popular actress, has urged everyone to take a stand and not remain neutral in the face of the recent terror attack in Israel that claimed the lives of numerous people. As an Israeli herself, she expressed her support for her homeland during this tough time.
At the age of 38, the renowned actress who played Wonder Woman had previously contributed to the Israeli Defense Forces as a trainer for combat more than ten years ago.
Over the weekend, Gal Gadot, former Miss Israel 2004 and Hollywood star, showed support for her home country by speaking out about the Hamas’ attack on Israeli civilians. She was one of the first Hollywood celebrities to do so. Bono also expressed his support for Israel during a concert by adjusting the lyrics of his hit song to pay tribute to those affected by the conflict in Israel and Gaza. Gadot took to her Instagram story to thank U2 and Bono for their support. Her experience serving in the IDF for two years has helped her develop valuable skills that she now applies in her filmmaking career, such as discipline and teamwork. For Gadot, it’s not about personal gain, but rather working towards a greater objective, such as making a great movie.
The celebrity Gal Gadot has appealed to her followers for donations to aid those affected by the recent attacks in Israel. The nation is currently facing its worst conflict with Palestine in decades and as many as 300,000 reservists have been called up to join IDF forces. It’s unclear whether Gadot herself has been called up. Gadot, alongside other stars such as Kylie Jenner, Madonna, and Amy Schumer, has received abuse online from pro-Palestinian social media users after expressing support for Israel. Mia Khalifa, a former porn star, has also been vocal in her support of Hamas’ armed attack on civilians. The group stormed the Supernova Festival near Kibbutz Re’im, and dashcam footage has shown gunmen executing innocent civilians.
Bono made some changes to the lyrics of the popular song, replacing them with: ‘Let’s sing for our fellow brothers and sisters – who were also singing at the Supernova Sukkot festival held in Israel’.
Several celebrities, including Gal Gadot, Kylie Jenner, Madonna, and Amy Schumer, have recently been subjected to online abuse from pro-Palestinian social media users. However, a former porn star, Mia Khalifa, did not pay attention to the negative criticism and continued to defend Hamas’ actions as reasonable. She even shared a message that stated that the United States of America is also a terrorist state and criticized Kylie Jenner for her support of Israel. Mia Khalifa challenged Kylie Jenner to provide a coherent statement on the Middle East conflicts since she has taken a stance to her 400M followers. The recent attacks by Palestinian gunmen led to the death of over 700 Israeli soldiers and civilians, and Israel’s Defence Forces (IDF) responded with air strikes and missile attacks on the Gaza Strip, targeting more than 1,000 Hamas locations in the past two days.
On Monday, a paramedic was seen comforting a young girl who was crying after being rescued from the bombing in Gaza.
Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has announced that electricity will be cut and the entry of food and fuel will be blocked to the Gaza Strip, citing the need to respond to ‘barbaric terrorists’. As a result of these measures, Palestinians living in the region will begin to suffer from siege-like conditions and starvation. This comes as Israeli soldiers killed two gunmen who crossed the northern border from Lebanon with artillery shelling and gunfire being heard at Lebanon’s southern border with Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared war and called up 300,000 reservists, with a possible ground assault into Gaza looming in the near future. Netanyahu has vowed to completely destroy the military and governing capabilities of Hamas, which has ruled Gaza unchallenged since 2007.
