Israeli actress Gal Gadot and other notable Israelis and Americans were honored by the Israeli-American Council (IAC) and Israel’s Consulate in Los Angeles on Wednesday at their official celebration of the Jewish states’ 75th anniversary of independence.
“Israel is my heart and my home,” Gadot, 38, said upon being presented her award. “We all here are deeply proud of our Jewish homeland. This celebration is a testament to our unity, our strength.”
The Wonder Woman star continued, “As an Israeli living in America, I am very aware of the importance of maintaining a strong connection and of building bridges between the American and Israeli people. Our backgrounds might be different, our journeys unique, but our collective goal is shared.”
Gadot’s latest project is Netflix’s Heart of Stone, slated for an August release.
