Los Angeles, California – Security at Disney has reportedly been beefed up for actress Gal Gadot amidst threats she received over her support for Israel during the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Variety reported that Gadot faced backlash and death threats after her co-star Rachel Zegler expressed support for Palestine while promoting their film “Snow White.” This led to Disney increasing security measures for Gadot’s safety.
Zegler’s social media post thanking fans for their support and ending with “free Palestine” garnered attention and criticism. Some questioned her political stance in relation to promoting a Disney film while others directed their anger towards Gadot for her pro-Israel comments.
In response to the increased threats, Gadot reiterated her support for Israel, stating that the world cannot turn a blind eye to acts of terror. Despite the backlash and protests, she remained steadfast in her stance, emphasizing the importance of speaking out in times of crisis.
During her Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, Gadot faced more opposition from protestors with signs criticizing her support for Israel. The actress addressed the hate she received, expressing shock at the level of animosity and misinformation circulating about her.
Amidst all the controversy, Gadot remains focused on her work as an artist, aiming to bring hope and positivity to her audience. Her unwavering support for Israel has sparked intense debate and further highlighted the complexities surrounding celebrity activism in polarizing political climates.
