Jerry Seinfeld Shows Support for Israeli Hostages Amid Ongoing War
The comedian arrived in Israel on Monday
Jerry Seinfeld is standing in solidarity with Israel.
The comedian arrived in Israel on Monday to show support for Israel and the country's hostages amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, according to the Jerusalem Post.
Seinfeld, who has been vocal about his support for Israel, was wearing a dog tag (seen in a video clip posted to X, formerly Twitter) that reportedly read: "Bring Them Home."
Hundreds of Hollywood stars have shown their support for the people of Israel after Hamas' attacks on the country and the subsequent retaliation.
Seinfeld, Jamie Lee Curtis, Chris Pine, Mayim Bialik, Liev Schreiber, Amy Schumer, Michael Douglas and Debra Messing are just some of the actors who signed an open letter released by the non-profit entertainment industry organization Creative Community for Peace in support of Israel.
The open letter — released in October — called on the entertainment community to speak out against Hamas, refrain from sharing misinformation about the war and to "do whatever is in their power to urge the terrorist organization to return the innocent hostages to their families."
"This is terrorism. This is evil. There is no justification or rationalization for Hamas' actions," the open letter stated. "These are barbaric acts of terrorism that must be called out by everyone. They are a terrorist organization whose leaders call for the murder of Jews everywhere."

Gal Gadot — who was born in Petah Tikva, Israel, to Jewish parents — was one of the first stars to sign the open letter.
"My heart is aching for the lives lost and families shattered," she said in a statement. "I'm praying for everyone who has been affected by Hamas' terrorism and brutality. And I hope that the world remains steadfast in their support of the Israeli people."
Hamas gunmen killed at least 1,300 people, mostly civilians, during an audacious, brutal raid, massacring people in their homes and on the streets, and carried an estimated 150 captives back to Gaza.
