The Israeli actress pleaded with the international community to do everything possible to secure the release of the female hostages held by Hamas
Gal Gadot denounced the “media silence” on the sexual abuse of female Hamas hostages and the continued danger they face as their captivity nears its three-month mark.
“The world has failed the women of October 7,” wrote the Israeli actress in her post on Instagram. “We claim to stand against rape, violence against women. We will not allow women to be victimized and then silenced. We say we believe in women, we stand with women, we speak for women».

Several prominent Hollywood figures, including Julianna Margulies, have also questioned the silence of women’s advocacy groups on reports of horrific rape, sexual torture and mutilation of women by Hamas.
The United Nations, in particular, has come under heavy criticism within Israel for its failure to speak out about acts of sexual violence against women during the attack and the continued safety of female hostages held by Hamas.

Gadot has spoken out since the events of October 7th. She has used her social media platform to strongly advocate for the release of the hostages and highlight the personal stories of those still held captive. On October 12, Gadot along with Jerry Seinfeld, Jamie Lee Curtis, Chris Pine, Mayim Bialik, Liev Schreiber, Amy Schumer and Michael Douglas were among more than 700 celebrities and entertainment executives who signed an open letter expressing public support them to Israel and demanding the return of the hostages.
