Gal Gadot's Hollywood Screening Sparks Controversy Over Hamas Attack Footage

Gal Gadot, known for her role as Wonder Woman, has faced controversy in Hollywood due to her public support of Israel and the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). While she did serve as a fitness instructor in the IDF during her mandatory military service, false claims that she joined the army to fight Hamas have circulated online. Gadot's connection to the Israeli military was highlighted when she reportedly helped organize a screening of an IDF film depicting an attack on Israel, which was marred by a mass brawl outside the venue. Despite the controversy, Gadot credits her military experience for helping her land her first Hollywood role and maintain her physique. Her support for Israel has led to bans on her movies in Lebanon and Kuwait, and she has faced criticism for alleged Islamophobia in her films.
