JAKARTA - Actress Gal Gadot has spoken out about the incident in Palestine, but this statement has received a negative reaction from netizens.
On Wednesday, May 12, the Wonder Woman cast released statements on Twitter and Instagram about Israel and Palestine.
"My heart is broken. My country is at war. I worry about my family, my friends. I'm worried for my people. It's a vicious circle that's been going on for quite a while", she said in the upload.
"Israel has the right to live as a free and secure nation. Our neighbors deserve the same".
