One of the first celebrities to speak up in favor of Israel was Bono, who changed the lyrics to his hit song to show his solidarity with the Israeli people.

Gadot, who served in the IDF for two years, thanked U2 and Bono for their support on her Instagram story.

The conflict between Israel and Palestine is currently at its worst in decades, and all Israeli citizens may be asked to fight as the situation escalates. So far, around 300,000 Israeli reservists have been called upon to join IDF forces, and it’s unclear whether Gadot has also been called up. Some pro-Palestinian social media users have attacked Gadot and other celebrities such as Madonna, Amy Schumer, Kylie Jenner, and Mark Hamill, for voicing their support for Israel and even demanded a boycott of them. Meanwhile, former porn star Mia Khalifa has openly supported Hamas’ attack on civilians and urged them to film the carnage horizontally. Recently, a shocking dashcam footage surfaced online showing gunmen executing civilians during the surprise assault launched near Kibbutz Re’im, close to the Gaza Strip.

In recent news, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has announced that they will be taking drastic measures against Gaza Strip. They plan to cut off electricity and block the entry of food and fuel. Gallant justifies these actions by stating that his troops are fighting “barbaric terrorists” and will respond accordingly. This siege-like strategy will lead to starvation and attacks on the millions of Palestinians living in this confined region. Meanwhile, Israel’s forces are already engaged in battling Hamas terrorists in the south, and there are indications of a new front opening up as at least two gunmen who crossed the northern border from Lebanon were killed by Israeli soldiers backed by helicopters. There is gunfire and artillery shelling being heard across Lebanon’s southern border with Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has officially declared war and called for the mobilization of around 300,000 reservists, suggesting a possible ground assault into Gaza. Netanyahu aims to completely annihilate the military and governing capabilities of Hamas, which has been ruling Gaza unchallenged since 2007.
