MUNA served as the musical guests on a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! that also featured an interview with actress Gal Gadot, prompting band member Naomi McPherson to publicly distance the group from Gadot's views on Israel. McPherson explained on Instagram Stories that the performance had been taped days earlier without the band knowing who the other guests would be, before adding a message of support for Palestine. The episode highlights ongoing tensions in Hollywood over the Israel-Palestine conflict, with artists increasingly keen to clarify their political stances when sharing a platform with figures on the opposite side of the debate.

Gadot, a former Israeli Defence Forces soldier, appeared on the show to promote her new Prime Video film The Runner, and has long been one of the industry's most outspoken pro-Israel voices. She faced accusations of supporting "ethnic cleansing" in 2021 over social media comments during a flare-up in the conflict, and in 2025 suggested her reluctance to criticise Israel had contributed to the poor box office performance of Disney's Snow White remake, saying critics judged her "first and foremost as an Israeli, not as an actress". MUNA, meanwhile, performed "Dancing on the Wall", the title track from their latest album, and are due to begin a fall North American tour next week.
