Tue Mar 18 23:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Hollywood Walk of Fame Ceremony for Gal Gadot Disrupted by Pro-Palestinian and Pro-Israeli Protests
**Los Angeles, CA** – The Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony for Israeli actress Gal Gadot, known for her role as Wonder Woman, was disrupted Tuesday by dueling protests from pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli demonstrators. The event, delayed by approximately 15 minutes, saw several dozen protesters from each side clashing verbally and, in at least one instance, physically, leading to police intervention and several arrests.
Pro-Palestinian protesters chanted slogans such as “Shame on Gal Gadot,” “Up up with liberation, down down with occupation,” and “No more money for Israel’s crime,” holding signs criticizing Israel’s actions in Palestine. Pro-Israeli counter-protesters were also present. One incident involved a pro-Palestinian protester seizing an Israeli flag, prompting police intervention.
Gadot, a vocal supporter of the Israeli military, has recently become more outspoken about her political views following the October 7th Hamas attacks and subsequent conflict. In a speech to the Anti-Defamation League, she condemned the lack of condemnation for Hamas and the celebration of the attacks. She reiterated her stance to Variety ahead of the ceremony, stating she felt compelled to speak out against the violence and in support of hostages.
The controversy surrounding Gadot’s political views follows similar protests at other Hollywood events. Last month, pro-Palestinian demonstrators targeted the premiere of “Captain America: Brave New World” over the inclusion of an Israeli superhero. This latest incident adds to the growing tension surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its spillover into the entertainment industry, particularly as Gadot’s new film, “Snow White,” is set for release. The film’s premiere itself was scaled back amidst speculation of a rift between Gadot and co-star Rachel Zegler, who has publicly expressed pro-Palestinian sentiments.
