“Wonder Woman” actress and Israeli national Gal Gadot visited with survivors of Hamas captivity on Tuesday, according to the Hostages and Missing Families Forum.

During their gathering, Gadot embraced and spoke with Doron Steinbrecher, Liri Albag, Naama Levy, Moran Stella Yanai, and Ilana Gritzewsky, all of whom shared harrowing stories from their time in captivity. 

The women also expressed their gratitude to Gadot for her “outspoken support of the fight to bring the hostages home,” the Forum noted.

“Don’t stop,” Doron Steinbrecher told Gadot. “We must keep talking and keep them in people’s hearts and minds.”

A hostage agreement reached in January between Israel and Hamas led to the release of 33 individuals, but advocacy groups like the Hostages and Missing Families Forum continue to push for the return of those still being held.
