Gal Gadot and husband Jaron Varsano head to LA’s Chateau Marmont … after Wonder Woman star calls on UN to demand Hamas release every female hostage immediately

Gal Gadot was pictured in Los Angeles on Monday heading to the Chateau Marmont hotel for lunch, a day after she called on the United Nations to demand the immediate release of any female hostage held by Hamas.

The Wonder Woman actress, 38, and her husband Jaron Varsano, 48, were pictured walking to the famous location following her powerful statement.

It came almost two months after Hamas militants stormed the music festival on October 7 and killed hundreds of Israeli people, taking 240 hostages to take back to Gaza.

The Heart of Stone star was dressed in an off-white long-sleeved sweater, black leather pants and matching boots. During the day, she wore her dark brown locks pulled back with dark sunglasses.

Varsano, a film producer, wore a gray button-up top, dark blue jeans and black sneakers, with black sunglasses.

Gadot has been consistently vocal about her support for Israel since Hamas attacked Israel eight weeks ago.

Referring to the deadly Hamas raid, she said in an Instagram post last night to more than 109 million followers: 'The world has failed the women of October 7. We claim that we oppose rape and violence against women.

“We will not allow women to be victimized and then silenced. We say we believe women, stand with women, speak out for women.

It continued: “On October 7, the world witnessed Hamas carrying out its violent plans in real time. Within hours of the October 7 attack, the first blood-curdling video emerged of Shani Louk being paraded naked and defiled by her proud attackers.

“Two months later, women are still held hostage by these rapists and the world has failed to call this situation what it is: an urgent emergency that demands a decisive response.”

Gadot said the “moment” had come for women and allies of women to step up to condemn the crimes committed.

She said: “I implore all those who have done so much for women's rights around the world – from the UN to the human rights community, to join in demanding that Hamas release every hostage woman immediately – and not after the next round of violence. international mediation, not in another day.

“These women cannot survive another moment of this horror.”

Shani Louk, 22, was declared dead after a bone was found from the base of her skull three weeks after she was taken by Hamas.

She was kidnapped by armed men while she and her friends were partying at the Nova festival near Kibbutz Re'im. Her body was paraded after she was taken.

Although her family hoped she was still alive, her family confirmed her death in late October, although the circumstances of her death, as well as where and how the bone from her skull was found, are currently unclear.

Gadot, who spent two years in the IDF as a combat fitness instructor, has been calling for all remaining hostages to be released since the outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas.

Earlier this month, she hosted a Hollywood screening to show footage of the October 7 Hamas attack.

The 47-minute video titled “Bearing Witness to the October 7 Massacre,” provided by the IDF, was shown in select locations around the world, including Los Angeles and New York.

The footage, largely filmed by Hamas terrorists, includes murder, mass rapes and beheadings of Jewish people, as well as the Nova music festival massacre.

Shortly after the first attack, the former Miss Israel 2004 was one of the first Hollywood names to support Israel, writing: “I stand with Israel, you should too. The world cannot remain silent when these heinous acts of terror are taking place!'

The star also asked her followers to donate money to those affected by the attacks.

Gadot's call comes as Israeli investigators examining the fallout from the brutal October 7 attacks have found evidence that women and men have been victims of sexual violence and rape at the hands of Hamas and Islamic Jihad attackers, activists claim .

Yael Sherer, a spokeswoman for the Israeli advocacy group Survivors of Sexual Violence, said there was both physical evidence and eyewitness accounts of sexual violence against both genders during the attacks.

There was sexual violence and rape in these communities in southern Israel… we have a few living survivors – not many – of both genders. It didn't just happen to women, it happened to men too,” Yael Sherer told BBC Radio 4.

“Apart from finding bodies of people who were murdered, many of the bodies were mutilated… terrorists made sure to shame and dishonor these people,” she added.

It comes as Israeli police opened the country's largest ever investigation into sexual violence and crimes against women.
