During her ongoing visit to Israel, Hollywood star Gal Gadot meets with a group of released female hostages.
Gadot sits down with Liri Albag, Naama Levy, Doron Steinbrecher, Moran Stela Yanai and Ilana Gritzewsky, according to the Hostages Forum.
Albag and Levy, IDF observation soldiers, were freed in January, as was Steinbrecher, a civilian. Stela Yanai and Gritzewsky were both freed in November 2023. Gritzewsky, boyfriend, Matan Zangauker, is still held hostage in Gaza.
“I can’t believe that you’re here right now, you guys are an inspiration and give strength to all of us,” Gadot tells them, according to an Instagram story shared by Steinbrecher.
