Gal Gadot

Police were called, but it wasn’t known whether any arrests were made.

Gadot's previous films, including Wonder Woman and Death on the Nile, were also banned in Lebanon.

Arab organizations renew calls to boycott Disney’s Snow White over Gal Gadot’s role, citing her support for Israel, as the film struggles at the box office.

While a few live-action remakes have been good – Aladdin was probably the most fun – I think most children will always prefer the cartoon versions, and so will a lot of adults. 

“I’m just a girl from a town in Israel and could have never imagined such a moment,” Gadot said.

Whatever happens with Snow White, it seems that Gadot, who survived the health crisis and has spoken out about the importance of women taking care of themselves, can handle it.

"But we can't hold our breaths and pray or beg for support from people, groups, community that don't want to be there for us," she said. "We need to be there for ourselves."

This year's broadcast had fewer symbols about the Israel-Hamas conflict than last year, but some acceptance speeches mentioned the hostages in Gaza and antisemitism.

The announcement of Gadot’s participation comes following her appearance at the Golden Globes in January, where she also presented an award.

While many celebrities celebrated the release of Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbrecher and Emily Damari, Israel's critics were silent on the women's plight and newly returned freedom.
