No film in which the Israeli star has appeared has ever been screened in the country
(April 17, 2025 / JNS) The new Disney film “Snow White” has been banned from theaters in Lebanon due to the starring role played by Israeli actress Gal Gadot.
A representative for Beirut-based Middle East distributor Italia Films, which is in charge of Disney films in the region, told Variety that Gadot has long been on Lebanon’s Israel boycott list and that no movie in which she has starred in has ever been released in the country.
The 39-year-old actress, who served in the Israel Defense Forces before her Hollywood career, has been one of the strongest supporters of Israel in Hollywood in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas-led massacre, which triggered the wars in Gaza and in Lebanon.
