SHOCKING: Gal Gadot forbidden from wearing Hostage Pin at Golden Globes

Gadot, who was dressed in a glamorous black gown as she presented the Best Actor in a Drama award to Adrien Brody, had previously expressed support for the hostages on social media, posting about a proof-of-life video of hostage Liri Albag. However, her decision not to wear the pin, which some see as a political statement, sparked criticism in Israel, according to Jerusalem post reports.

According to reports from Ynet and N12, Gadot was forbidden from wearing the pin, as it was considered a political statement by the awards organizers, despite the fact that the pin is not associated with any political party or position on the war, but rather as a reminder of the approximately 100 hostages still held by Hamas.

In an effort to comply with the rules, Gadot wore a yellow ring as a subtle nod to the cause. A source close to the actress explained that Gadot struggled with the decision but chose to honor the guidelines while still drawing attention to the plight of the hostages.

However, her actions did not satisfy some critics, including television host Ofira Assayag. Assayag expressed her disappointment on social media, stating that wearing the pin would not have ruined Gadot's dress and would have been a meaningful gesture. Assayag’s posts quickly garnered hundreds of responses, with many supporting her criticism of Gadot’s decision.

Despite the backlash, Gadot's supporters argue that she found a way to express her solidarity with the hostages through other means, balancing her desire to comply with Golden Globes regulations while still raising awareness of the situation in Gaza.
