During a recent appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live,' Israeli actress Gal Gadot participated in a segment to mark the approach of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. As part of the holiday-themed segment, Gadot demonstrated how to blow a shofar, a traditional ram's horn instrument used in religious services. The conversation also touched upon cultural traditions, including the actress's experiences with gefilte fish.

The appearance became a point of contention due to the reaction of the episode's musical guest, the band MUNA. Following the broadcast, the band publicly distanced themselves from the episode by posting 'Free Palestine' on social media. This reaction highlights the ongoing tension surrounding public figures who have expressed support for Israel, particularly in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. While the Times of Israel focused on the cultural demonstration of the holiday, the band's response underscores how celebrity appearances are increasingly viewed through the lens of political activism. No further statements were provided by the show's producers or Gadot regarding the band's social media post.
