MUNA say “we weren’t told who any of the guests were gonna be” after appearing on ‘Kimmel’ with Gal Gadot: “Free Palestine”

MUNA have pointedly shared a plea for a “free Palestine” after unwittingly featuring on a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live alongside Gal Gadot , one of Hollywood’s most vocal pro-Israel voices.

Gadot has continued to court controversy concerning her ardent support of Israel.

She served as part of the Israeli Defence Force in the ‘00s and has consistently defended its actions, which have been described by both the United Nations and Amnesty International as genocidal.

In 2023, she also joined several celebrities in signing an open letter voicing their support for Israel , and previously said her “conscience was clean” because she “felt like I had to advocate for the hostages “.

In a recent social media post, MUNA member Naomi McPherson made it clear that they do not share Gadot’s views. | Naomi via their instagram story “we're on kimmel tonight! thank you to all the staff of the show […] this was taped a few days ago & we weren't told who any of the guests were gonna be so gotta also just take this moment also to say a nice big huge free palestine ” pic.twitter.com/BigQbEzyov — muna news (@wheremunais) September 11, 2026 “We’re on kimmel tonight! thank you to all the staff of the show who were so great to us… they were legends who really went the extra mile,” McPherson wrote on their Instagram Stories.

“This was taped a few days ago & we weren’t told who any of the guests were gonna be.

So gotta also just take this moment also to say a nice big huge free palestine.” The band previously joined the likes of Lorde and IDLES in the ‘No Music For Genocide’ Israel streaming boycott, which encouraged artists and rights-holders to pull their music from streaming platforms in Israel .

In 2024, MUNA‘s Katie Gavin shared her thoughts on the then-upcoming US election and presidential candidate Kamala Harris , saying she would be voting for Harris but would not “endorse somebody who is funding a genocide.” In her statement, Gavin alluded to the Biden-Harris administration’s funding of Israel while committing genocide in Gaza – something that has also been brought up by several musicians in the past.

Gadot, meanwhile, said last year that “pressure” to “speak out” against Israel led to Snow White flopping.

The film had a disastrous opening in cinemas, making just $42.2million in the US, which was well below expectations given the film’s estimated $240–270million budget.
