Gal Gadot’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony on Tuesday was rife with tension between pro-Palestine and pro-Israel protesters. The dual demonstrations led to a 15-minute late start to the ceremony, which proceeded without acknowledgment of the unrelenting protests, according to Variety. Gadot even gave her speech as protesters persisted.

Gadot, 39, who was born in Israel, has been an outspoken advocate for the country amid its ongoing conflict with Palestine. At just 20 years old, Gadot served as a combat fitness instructor in the IDF for two years, which included the Israel-Lebanon war in 2006.

Israeli actress Gal Gadot was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Tuesday, but the ceremony was disrupted by dueling protests from pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli demonstrators.
