Hollywood star Gal Gadot has urged the United Nations to demand the immediate release of all female hostages held by Hamas, stating that the global community has let them down. Gadot, known for her strong support of Israel, has been actively speaking out since the recent attacks by Hamas. In a recent Instagram post, the actress lamented the world’s failure to protect the women who fell victim to Hamas’ aggression. She emphasized the importance of standing up against violence and standing in solidarity with women who have been silenced and victimized.
Gal Gadot has been outspoken in expressing her solidarity with Israel ever since the country was targeted by Hamas militants two months ago.
In her post, Ms Gadot mentions Shani Louk, a 22-year-old who was paraded in a video by Hamas before a bone was discovered from the base of her skull three weeks after she was kidnapped.
Ms. Gadot took to Instagram last night to address the recent brutal actions of Hamas. She emphasized the urgency of the situation, noting that despite two months passing since the attack on October 7th, women are still being held captive by their attackers. She called on women and their allies around the world to unite and demand the immediate release of these women, stressing that they cannot endure any more suffering. Gadot urged organizations such as the UN and human rights groups to step up and take action to free these innocent victims without delay.
Following the festival attack in Israel, Ms. Louk’s motionless body was displayed by Hamas gunmen. The video left uncertainty about her condition, but her mother reassured later that she was alive and undergoing treatment at a Gaza hospital.
Shani Louk, a 22-year-old German who grew up in Israel, was among the many partygoers at the Nova festival when Hamas carried out a brutal attack, resulting in the deaths of around 260 innocent civilians.
Tragically, Shani Louk was declared deceased after a bone from the base of her skull was discovered three weeks following her abduction by Hamas militants. She was taken from the festival near Kibbutz Re’im, and her body was later displayed by her captors.
Despite her family’s hopeful anticipation of her safe return, they ultimately acknowledged her passing in late October. The specifics surrounding her demise, as well as how and where the bone was located, remain unclear at present.
Gal Gadot, a former IDF combat fitness instructor, has been actively advocating for the release of all remaining hostages since the outbreak of conflict between Israel and Hamas. Recently, she organized a special Hollywood screening showcasing footage from the devastating October 7th attack orchestrated by Hamas.
The 47-minute documentary, titled ‘Bearing Witness to the October 7th Massacre’, sourced from the IDF, was screened at various locations worldwide, including Los Angeles and New York, shedding light on the horrific events of that fateful day.

On December 3, little ones affected by Israeli airstrikes reached Nasser Medical Hospital in Khan Younis, located in southern Gaza.
On December 3, 2023, residents of Khan Yunis, Palestine, surveyed the damage left by airstrikes on their houses.
Clouds of smoke can be seen drifting over the Palestinian enclave as Israeli airstrikes continue amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. Videos captured by Hamas militants show brutal acts such as murder, mass rapes, and the killing of Jewish people, including the tragic events at the Nova music festival.
Following the initial attack, former Miss Israel 2004 was one of the first celebrities to show support for Israel, declaring: ‘I stand with Israel, and so should you. The world cannot remain silent in the face of such horrific acts of terror!’ She also urged her followers to contribute funds to help those impacted by the attacks.
As Israeli investigators look into the aftermath of the violent events on October 7, reports have surfaced of both men and women being subjected to sexual violence and assaults by attackers from Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Yael Sherer from Israel’s Survivors of Sexual Violence advocacy group stated that there is physical evidence and eyewitness testimonies of these disturbing acts against individuals of both genders.
Sherer noted that in addition to the murders, many bodies were mutilated by the terrorists in an attempt to disgrace and dishonor the victims. Israeli authorities have initiated a significant investigation into the sexual violence and crimes against women across the country.
