JERUSALEM: Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot has leapt to defend a fellow actress who was chided by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for challenging his party's treatment of Arab citizens.
Mr Netanyahu and his Likud party have been accused of using scare tactics and demonising Israel's Arab population ahead of the April 9 elections in a bid to motivate their right-wing base. "Love your neighbour as yourself," Israeli-born Gadot wrote on Instagram on late Sunday after popular Israeli model and actress Rotem Sela received online abuse from the public and a personal reprimand from Mr Netanyahu."It's a matter of dialogue... for peace and security and of our tolerance of one towards the other."
Sela fired off an angry Instagram post on Saturday after watching right-wing firebrand Culture Minister Miri Regev on TV. Mrs Regev stated Likud's line, warning voters in the April elections not to choose its main opponents because if elected it would form an alliance with Israeli Arab parties in Parliament - a highly unlikely scenario.
