Snow White remake banned from Lebanese theatres over Israel tensions
- Disney's live-action remake of Snow White has been banned in Lebanon due to the inclusion of Israeli actress Gal Gadot, who is on the country's Israel boycott list.
- Gadot's role as the Evil Queen in the film, alongside Rachel Zegler as Snow White, prompted the ban by Lebanon's Interior Minister.
- This isn't the first time Gadot's films have been banned in Lebanon; none of her movies have been released there due to her vocal support of Israel and past service in the IDF.
- The ban follows escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, and comes after Gadot's recent speech at the Anti-Defamation League summit condemning Hamas and supporting Israel.
- Snow White has received negative reviews, with critics expressing disappointment and confusion about the remake.
