Hollywood actress Gal Gadot is currently dashing around the streets of London while filming her new movie The Runner. But the surrounding Metropolitan Police presence isn’t part of this fictional action thriller: officers have been deployed to the set in response to demonstrators targeting Gadot due to her Israeli nationality.

It’s the latest incident in a concerted and increasingly vehement campaign. The prominent Wonder Woman star has become a lightning rod for anti-Israeli sentiment since the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack in 2023 and subsequent military escalation and humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Five people were arrested near Gadot’s film set in Westminster on Wednesday. According to a Metropolitan Police statement, in recent weeks “protestors have disrupted filming at various locations across London. They have done so solely because an actress involved in the production is Israeli.” The protestors were arrested for harassment and for wrongfully and unlawfully obstructing access to a workplace.
