Israeli actress Gal Gadot is planning a Hollywood screening to show footage of the brutal Hamas terror attack atrocities committed during the October 7 invasion of Israel, it has been reported
A 47-minute video, provided by the Israeli Defence forces, will be aired to a select audience of celebrities and influential personalities in Los Angeles and New York this week, it has been reported.
Oscar-winning director Guy Nattiv, who spearheaded the initiative, confirmed to i24 that Gadot and her husband, Yaron Varsano, ‘helped make this possible.’
The video serves as a damning record of the atrocities perpetrated by Hamas terrorists against Israeli communities on the Gaza border on October 7, which saw the killing of 1,400 people and kidnapping of 240 hostages.
Nattiv, a self-proclaimed humanist advocating for a two-state solution, referred back to the Holocaust to highlight his cause.
‘As a filmmaker, I swore that these images of October 7 would not be forgotten, and the world would see them. Because now the denial begins – it is a fake, it is not a fake (…) We cannot pass by in silence’, he told i24.

The plan is to host a single screening for 120 viewers, with potential additional screenings based on its reception, the outlet reported.
The video content is said to be deeply disturbing and has already been watched by numerous foreign journalists and Israeli Knesset members.
The footage will be aired under the title ‘Bearing Witness to the October 7th Massacre’ in Los Angeles and New York this week, according to The Wrap, which said that one of the screenings will take place by invite only Wednesday at the Museum of Tolerance.
According to reports, the footage, which was mostly filmed by Hamas terrorists, includes murder, mass rapes and beheadings of Jewish people as well as the massacre at the Nova music festival.
Some Knesset members were so overwhelmed by the video’s content that they left the screening mid-view.
The American Jewish Committee and the Anti-Defamation League are helping to organize the screenings.
Nattiv shared a redacted image of the invitation on social media Sunday, captioning the post ‘Because the world needs to know. #neveragainisnow’.
Gadot has not publicly commented on the screening.
But the actress has been particularly vocal on the Middle-Eastern war in recent weeks.
Two days after the initial attacks, she demanded the world not ‘sit on the fence’.
Gadot served in the Israeli Defense Forces as a combat trainer over a decade ago, leading some to wonder if would could be called to fight.

Shortly after the initial attack, the former Miss Israel 2004 was one of the first Hollywood names to support Israel, writing: ‘I stand with Israel you should too. The world cannot sit on the fence when these horrific acts of terror are happening!’
The star also asked her followers to donate funds for those affected by the attacks.
The barbaric October 7 attacks saw Hamas fire a barrage of rockets from Gaza and send fighters across the border, killing 1,400 people and taking about 240 hostages.
More than 270 bodies, mostly young people, were strewn across the site of a music festival in a Negev desert kibbutz after Hamas attackers used paragliders to cross the border and fire indiscriminately into the crowd.
At a nearby kibbutz in southern Israel, Hamas terrorists massacred at least 40 babies and young children, before beheading some of them and gunning down their families.
The onslaught saw around 70 Hamas fighters armed with machine guns and grenades storm the usually quiet Kfar Aza kibbutz in southern Israel killing men, women and children indiscriminately.
The terrorists went on a rampage, killing hundreds of Israelis and taking dozens hostage in places like Kfar Aza, near Sderot. Some of the houses had been almost totally destroyed in the attack with collapsed, burned walls.
The death toll dwarfs the scale of any past attack by Islamists apart from 9/11. Scores of Israelis were taken to Gaza as hostages, with some paraded through the streets.
