Israeli actress Gal Gadot has slammed the silence of the international media over the plight of the women who were kidnapped by the terror group Hamas on October 7th.
According to a report by The Times of Israel, Ms. Gadot took to her Instagram page to speak against the silence of the international community over the Israeli women who were captured by Hamas and are still held hostage.
It was reported that Ms. Gadot said: “The world has failed the women of October 7th. We claim we stand against rape, violence against women. We will not let women be victimized and then silenced. We say we believe women, stand with women, speak out for women…”
“On October 7th, the world witnessed Hamas carrying out its violent plans in real-time. Within hours of the October 7th attack, the first blood-chilling video emerged of Shani Louk being paraded naked and defiled by her proud assailants. Yet two months later women are still hostage to these rapists and the world has failed to call this situation what it is: an urgent emergency that demands a decisive response,” she also said.
Ms. Gadot went on to call on international groups including the United Nations to demand and act so that the women captured by Hamas on October 7th will be released.
