Capping off what should have been an auspicious week, the Walk of Fame ceremony for Gal Gadot became another flashpoint due to the heated responses to her earlier statements supporting Israel during the ongoing conflict in the region. The occasion witnessed scuffles between pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian demonstrators, shedding light on one reason Disney decided to postpone the premiere of Snow White. Despite initial plans to make Gadot’s event a triumphant milestone for the Israeli actress, it underscored that the controversy surrounding her has not subsided in recent times.
As the weeks countdown to Gadot’s ceremony, Disney’s live-action Snow White had been drawing attention for reducing its promotional activities. The studio decided to cancel the U.K. premiere altogether, while the Hollywood premiere was significantly toned down to a low-key event with only a handful of photographers and select, reliable media in attendance.
During the showing of Snow White, everything went smoothly. However, the unveiling ceremony at the Walk of Fame turned out to be more contentious, as approximately two dozen protesters from different factions arrived waving banners and signs. A video posted by Variety revealed that they were shouting “Shame on Gal Gadot.” Although the actress wasn’t in any immediate danger and was kept away from the commotion, the opposing groups eventually confronted each other, leading to several individuals being handcuffed. Fortunately, according to the LAPD, no arrests were made; instead, it was just an instance of managing a rowdy crowd.
Regardless of the circumstances, Gadot persisted with the affair, standing next to her newest achievement, and receiving acknowledgements from director Patty Jenkins of Wonder Woman and Fast co-star Vin Diesel.

Gal Gadot Explained Her Views on the Israel-Gaza War
Despite Gal Gadot’s infrequent public comments about the ongoing conflict, her supportive statements have frequently resurfaced on social media. In a recent conversation with Variety, Gadot clarified that, being an Israeli citizen, she has personal motivations for backing her nation. She stated:
Navigating discussions on social media can be tough due to all the hate, bots, and angry individuals seeking conflicts. However, from October 7th [2023], I choose not to engage with politics because who needs another celebrity’s political opinions? As an artist, my goal is to entertain and bring hope. But when people were abducted on October 7th, enduring unimaginable horrors, I felt compelled to break my silence. The level of hate, the misinformation, and the unfairness in media coverage that day left me stunned. So, I decided it was necessary for me to speak up.
Despite Gadot’s Walk of Fame unveiling and the release of Snow White proceeding relatively smoothly, the presence of protesters serves as a poignant reminder that divisive conflicts persist, not just within Hollywood but globally. These days, it seems scarcely any group escapes the tension brewing for diverse reasons.
