At a 24-hour rally to mark 100 days of the hostages’ ongoing captivity in Gaza, actress Gal Gadot sends a video message from her home in Los Angeles to the families of the hostages. “100 days without them, and it’s impossible to imagine — you are heroes and we all will do what we can to bring them home, there’s no other option,” says Gadot.
“There’s meaning to everything you do, to every rally, video, article, march; the whole world sees and hears you,” she adds.
“The issue of the hostages is present in every home and in mine as well,” says Gadot, placing her hand on her heart. “We have to continue to act and we won’t stop until they are home. I hold and hug each and every one of you.”
