Recently, Hollywood star Gal Gadot – the globally famous beauty with the role of Wonder Woman, made waves on social media when she posted an emotional photo with a strong message:
“They are home. Finally home. It is good to see people back where they belong… please do not detain them anymore. Let them go home. I – this woman, this mother, will stand up and use my own honest labor money to protect them.”
The photo with that status quickly spread across social media, especially in Israel, where Gal Gadot has always been considered a national symbol. She is not only a movie star, but also a rare Israeli woman who maintains a patriotic stance amid waves of criticism and controversy from the international community.
Gal Gadot has reportedly announced plans to set up a humanitarian fund worth more than $20 million – to support Israelis affected by the conflict and help families who have recently returned after a long period of separation. The fund will focus on mental health care, reintegration support and providing safe shelter for those who have lost their homes.
On her personal Instagram with tens of millions of followers, Gal Gadot continued:
“I have seen too much pain, too many tears. As a mother, I know what it feels like to be away from your children, not knowing if your loved ones are still alive. Today, seeing them come home, my heart feels a little healed. But there are still many who have not returned… and I will not sit still.”
These words touched the hearts of millions of people. A series of comments sent thanks, praising the actress’s humanitarian spirit and compassion. An Israeli fan wrote: “Thank you for not forgetting us. When the world turned its back, you were still there – like a true heroine.”
Many international audiences also expressed their emotions when seeing Gal Gadot shedding tears when meeting people returning from the war zone. Israeli media reported that she secretly participated in humanitarian campaigns, providing necessities and financial support to hundreds of displaced families.
This is not the first time Gal Gadot has spoken out for her country. During the escalating conflict, she has always used her voice to call for peace, humanity and the right to live for both sides. However, she has also faced criticism and online attacks from people who believe she is “biased” towards Israel.
But despite all the pressure, Gal Gadot remains steadfast. She shared:
“I am not on any side other than the innocent. I just want to see children smiling, parents hugging their children, and people living in peace.”
The image of the actress standing in front of the Israeli flag, her eyes red but still smiling, has become a symbol of hope. In a world still divided, Gal Gadot’s actions not only show patriotism, but also a strong humanistic message: let people return home, live, and be loved.
Now that thousands of Israelis have returned to their homeland, Gal Gadot said she feels “relieved but not at peace.” She vowed to continue using her influence and wealth to protect the vulnerable, despite waves of protests.
“I will not be silent. I will use my voice – and my heart – to protect my homeland.” – Gal Gadot wrote in her final post, ending with three simple but powerful words:
“Welcome home, Israel.”
