President Reuven Rivlin met Israeli actress Gal Gadot at the premiere of “Justice League” in Los Angeles on Monday, praising the “Wonder Woman” star as a “true and beloved ambassador” of the Jewish state.
Rivlin, who was in Los Angeles to speak at the General Assembly of the Jewish Federations of North America, said he attended the premiere at Gadot’s invitation.
“I was so proud and happy to meet her here as a true and beloved ambassador of the State of Israel,” Rivlin tweeted.
