Actress and producer Gal Gadot received an honorary Doctor of Philosophy degree from Bar-Ilan University, as part of the events marking 70 years since the establishment of the academic institution. In her speech at the ceremony, held last night (Monday), Gadot addressed the security and social situation in Israel, the importance of mutual responsibility, and called on the public to exercise their right to vote in the upcoming elections. Gadot opened with humor, telling her parents she was pregnant, before revealing she was "officially a doctor." Later, she referred to the difficult period since October 7 and the sense of gap between Israel and how it is portrayed abroad. The university justified its decision to award her the degree based on her professional achievements in international cinema, her standing alongside Israel on the global stage, and her work connecting audiences and cultures.
