'Wonder Woman' actress Gal Gadot praises 'strength' of freed Hamas hostages during emotional visit

Gal Gadot, best known for her role in “Wonder Woman,” and a native of Israel, interacted with survivors of imprisonment by Hamas on Tuesday, as indicated by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum.

During the meeting, Gadot engaged and offered comfort to Doron Steinbrecher, Liri Albag, Naama Levy, Moran Stella Yanai, and Ilana Gritzewsky, who recounted their distressing experiences while in captivity.

The women also expressed their gratitude to Gadot for her “outspoken support of the fight to bring the hostages home,” the Forum noted.

“Don’t stop,” Doron Steinbrecher told Gadot. “We must keep talking and keep them in people’s hearts and minds.”

A hostage agreement reached in January between Israel and Hamas led to the release of 33 individuals, but advocacy groups like the Hostages and Missing Families Forum continue to push for the return of those still being held.
