The Hollywood Walk of Fame star award ceremony for actress Gal Gadot drew chaotic action from supporters of Israel and supporters of Palestine. This event was held on Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, on Tuesday March 18, 2025 morning ahead of the launch of the film Snow White which also stars the actress who is a former member of the Israeli military.
However, a number of pro-Palestinian masses were already around the area that was the center of the Walk of Fame ceremony, carrying various banners containing strong condemnation. The banners read "Heroes Fight Like Palestinians" and "No Other Land Won Oscar," along with chants of "no more funding for Israeli crimes."
"We are all very upset about what is happening in Gaza right now," said one pro-Palestinian protester. "There is no reason why we should celebrate an Israeli citizen." Participants also accused Gal Gadot of "hiding her hand" because she never used her platform to discuss the issue of genocide. "She has the ability to learn and read the same books that we read. No excuses," said another participant.
However, not far from the center of the crowd, a group of people also held a pro-Israel action. The party stated that their friend had been "killed" in a Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. As reported by Variety and Page Six, local officers arrived at the location after a pro-Palestinian protester was said to have taken an Israeli flag.
Meanwhile, Gal Gadot, who came accompanied by her husband and four children, admitted that she was very grateful to receive the award. Also present at the awarding ceremony was Vin Diesel, Gal Gadot's co-star in the Fast and Furious films. Also present was Patty Jenkins, who produced the Wonder Woman film starring Gadot.
"I'm just a girl from a town in Israel. This star will remind me that with hard work, passion and a little bit of faith, anything is possible," said Gal Gadot. On the other hand, Gal Gadot's party was quoted as saying by Page Six that she did not immediately respond to the protests that occurred during the awarding of the star.
