Hollywood actress and former IDF soldier Gal Gadot has reportedly announced plans to return to Israel with her husband, businessman Jaron Varsano, and their four daughters, citing growing hostility towards Israelis abroad. Speaking on Channel 12’s Eretz Nehederet, Gadot reflected on her nearly 12 years in the United States, revealing that she sometimes wears a face mask in public to avoid recognition. “It’s hard these days to be an Israeli abroad,” she said, describing the hostility she claims to face and the difficulties of defending her pro-genocide stance to Americans.

In an interview with CBS News’ 60 Minutes, US President Donald Trump pointed to three key factors behind the Republicans’ poor performance in the US midterm elections: “They didn’t like the war. They didn’t like the fact that gasoline went up because I had it down at a low. And there’s a great dislike, incredibly, for Israel.” Israel’s push for US military action against Iran contributed to a conflict that disrupted global oil supplies and sent fuel prices soaring, leaving ordinary Americans to bear the economic consequences. Trump’s comments appear to acknowledge the growing political cost of America’s close alliance with Israel, as public dissatisfaction over the relationship increasingly becomes an electoral issue for Republicans.
