Gal Gadot’s latest film project, “Death on the Nile,” was released back on February 22 to mixed reviews from critics. But most agreed that Gadot dazzled as the film’s mysterious “femme fatale” lead. Unfortunately, her past military service for the country of Israel has caused the movie to be banned in theaters in both Lebanon and Kuwait, according to Deadline.
As Israel’s conflicts with Palestine continue to play out on the world stage, Gadot’s home country isn’t on good terms with many others in the area and across the globe. Lebanon currently has laws that ban any Israeli products from entering the country and Kuwait prohibited the movie after protests from the public, according to the New York Post. Gadot herself has not yet responded to the movie’s banning, but she has continually supported her home country over the years. Even in 2021, during the Israel-Palestine crisis, Gadot tweeted that she hoped for peace between the two countries. Depending on how she responds, will more countries continue to ban the film, or will the film go on to make even more millions at the international box office?
