Israeli actress Gal Gadot has been given extra security because of her outspoken support for Israel, according to a new report Tuesday.

The 39-year-old actress, who served in the Israel Defense Forces before her Hollywood career, received a “spike” of death threats after her “Snow White” co-star Rachel Zegler, 23, shared a pro-Palestinian message on social media, according to Variety.

Disney was forced to heighten security for the Wonder Woman star after Zegler stunned her boses by posting “and always remember, free palestine” in a thread on X about the $270 million remake of the 1937 animated classic.

Zegler had previously turned heads by a contentious political post in the wake of Donald’s Trump’s election victory last November.

“F—k Donald Trump,” Zegler wrote on Instagram, adding, “May Trump supporters…never know peace.”

Gadot has been one of the strongest supporters of Israel in Hollywood in the wake of the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led massacre.
