Gal Gadot faces backlash for tweets on Israel-Palestine conflict, disables comments
May 13, 2021 5:11 AM

Hollywood star and 'Wonder Woman' actress Gal Gadot is facing intense backlash on Twitter for a tweet she made regarding the ongoing conflict between Palestine and Israel.

The actress and former soldier with the Israeli Defence Forces is at the receiving end from netizens after she expressed solidarity with Israel on Wednesday. Supporters of the free Palestine movement are now calling out to boycott her movies and terming her message as 'ignorant'.

She has disabled the comments on her tweets after being slammed.

"My heart breaks. My country is at war. I worry for my family, my friends. I worry for my people. This is a vicious cycle that has been going on for far too long. Israel deserves to live as a free and safe nation. Our neighbours deserve the same. I pray for the victims and their families. I pray for this unimaginable hostility to end, I pray for our leaders to find the solution so we can live side by side in peace. I pray for better days," she tweeted on May 12.
