core, it was about compassion, choosing life, and standing by one another in times of need.Gal Gadot On Her Values Being Deeply Rooted In JudaismGadot further said, “I was raised with values of kindness, courage and responsibility, values deeply rooted in Judaism. And I see those same values alive every single day in our people who refuse to give in to fear or hate, and instead choose hope, action and humanity. I’ve always believed in the power of peace and coexistence. What moves me most about this organization is how it brings people of all faiths, cultures, and walks of life together in service of one sacred mission — to save lives. Jews, Muslims, Christians, men and women from every background, all united in the moment that matters the most.”She then praised Yuval for turning her pain into purpose and carrying Israel’s voice to the world at Eurovision 2025. She said that the singer's strength and resilience inspired millions to hope, heal, and believe again despite fear, loss, and rising antisemitism.
