All Gal Gadot wants for Hanukkah: a visit home

After making a lot of noise with the trailer for the Wonder Woman sequel, Israel's biggest star vacationed in France, and then planned to arrive in Israel to enjoy the Festival of Lights. Did she make it on time?

In the next few months, we're going to be seeing a lot of Gal Gadot (which isn't a bad thing, is it)? 

Two weeks ago, the trailer for Wonder Woman 1984 dropped. Naturally, Gadot is expected to do a fair amount of publicity before the highly anticipated sequel hits theaters in June.

But for now, Gadot took some much deserved time for herself.

 

First, she vacationed for a few days with her family skiing in France – and from the looks of the pictures – had a lovely time. Taking to Instagram, the megastar showed off her skiing prowess and ability to take video and ski at the same time. 

Looking relaxed, Gadot snapped a few pics of her and her family frolicking in the snow with a caption that read, "Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas to all of you who are celebrating. From my family to yours, we wish you a great 2020, with lots of joy and magical moments."

Happy Chanukah and merry Christmas to all of you that are celebrating 💃🦄🎊 from my family to yours we wish you a great 2020 with lots of joy and magical moments. I've spend the past few days with my family, having some quality time after shooting Death on the Nile and before jumping into Red Notice. I'm feeling grateful and happy to have such special people that I love so much surrounding me. Here's to an amazing year to all of us❤️ G @clubmed @jaronvarsano @danagadot

But now, Gadot is back home in Israel. The superstar was spotted in the Keshet building of Neve Tzedek – a hip neighborhood in Tel Aviv with her husband. And the production company just announced it is producing a film adaptation of a popular book banned in Israeli schools. 

Borderlife, written by Dorit Rabinyan, tells the classic story of two star-crossed lovers but with an Israeli-spin: In this iteration of the classic tale, an Israeli woman and Palestinian man meet in New York City and fall in love. The two decide to keep their romance a secret from family and friends while they try to navigate their blossoming relationship.

Although the book was banned by then-Education Minister Naftali Bennett, its controversy led to skyrocketing sales. 

It is unclear whether Gadot will star in the movie as well, however, later this year, she will act alongside Kenneth Branagh in Death in the Nile and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in Red Notice.
