Pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian protesters disrupted the ceremony honoring Israeli actress Gal Gadot on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The event was delayed, and police were called after a pro-Palestinian protester stole an Israeli flag.
Gadot is a vocal supporter of Israel, citing her experience in the military and recent speeches. She stated that she could not be silent after the Hamas-led attack on Israeli citizens on October 7, 2023. The protests followed controversy surrounding Disney’s live-action Snow White, with co-star Rachel Zegler facing criticism for pro-Palestinian views.
Similar protests were seen outside the Hollywood premiere of Captain America: Brave New World, with critics claiming that Marvel’s inclusion of a character played by an Israeli actress promoted Israel’s oppression of Palestinians. The situation highlights ongoing tensions surrounding the Israel-Palestine conflict and its impact on entertainment and politics.
