During a virtual symposium, Israeli actress Gal Gadot and President Isaac Herzog emphasized the need for unity among Jewish people in the face of rising antisemitism following the October 7 Hamas attacks. Gadot described the current climate as a turning point, stating, "There’s life before October 7 and life after," and highlighted the importance of hope and love over revenge. Herzog echoed her sentiments, announcing the formation of a global Jewish council to address antisemitism and strengthen Israel-Diaspora relations. Both leaders called for collective action and resilience, with Gadot stressing that Israel serves as a crucial 'insurance policy' for Jews worldwide. Gadot also expressed her deep concern for hostages still in Gaza, underscoring the emotional toll on families affected by the ongoing violence. The discussion aimed to foster unity among Jewish communities globally through the newly launched 'Voice of the People' initiative.
