International men's magazine Maxim recently released its "Hot 100" list of the world's sexiest women for 2019, and it's no wonder that Israel's representative is Hollywood actress Gal Gadot.
The magazine said of the Wonder Woman star: "The only woman on this list who can field strip an M16, this 34-year-old superbabe's two-year stint in the IDF made her the natural choice to play gun-toting Gisele in the 'Fast and the Furious' franchise. Struggling model-actresses take heart: Before she was queen of the DC Extended Universe, she was Miss Israel in 2004."

Maxim also noted Gadot's massive 29.1 million-strong Instagram following.
The list also includes model sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid; Kendall Jenner; Sara Sampaio; Adriana Lima; Irena Shayk and others. The cover was awarded to Miss Universe of 2012, Olivia Culpo.
"The inexorable rise of digital influencers – and a certain progressive social movement you may have heard a little something about – led us to reconsider what it means to be 'hot' in 2019," the magazine said.
"As a general rule, the women who caught our eye bring something else to the party, succeeding in their chosen field against long odds through sheer determination, raw talent, and a willingness to put themselves out there," it added.
