Gal Gadot, the most prominent Israeli actor in Hollywood, met on Tuesday with five survivors of Hamas captivity in Gaza: Doron Steinbrecher, Liri Albag, Naama Levy, Moran Stella Yanai and Ilana Gritzewsky.
The women recounted their harrowing experiences in the hands of the terrorist group, and called on Gadot to keep advocating for the release of the 50 people still believed to be in captivity 655 days after the Oct. 7, 2023 massacre.
Steinbrecher urged Gadot: "Don't stop. We must keep talking about the hostages and keep them in the public's consciousness."
Gadot responded: "You went through unimaginably hard things, and I can't believe you're here now. You're going on with your lives and fighting for others. From the outside looking in—it's incredible how you've picked up the stretcher and are carrying it for those still there. You are strength. You are inspiration. I hope everyone comes back already."
