Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot has received a backlash online over her tweet about the escalation of violence in Israel and Gaza.
The Israeli actress and former Miss Israel posted: “Israel deserves to live as a free and safe nation,” adding: “Our neighbours deserve the same.”
The comments attracted thousands of replies – now switched off – leading to her name trending on Twitter.
In her youth, Gadot completed two years of mandatory military service.
