Gal Gadot's 'Death on the Nile' banned in Lebanon, Kuwait over 'Wonder Woman' star's Israeli background
foxnews.comLebanon and Kuwait won’t be playing "Death on the Nile," Deadline has confirmed, and that’s unfortunately due to both countries’ protest of Israeli native star Gal Gadot.
Gadot served in the Israeli military for two years prior to becoming a model and actress, as her native country mandates it.
Given her connection to the IDF, Lebanon previously blocked the actress’ movie "Wonder Woman" from release in May 2017. At the time, the country was reportedly prompted to do so by the group Campaign to Boycott Supporters of Israel-Lebanon. "Wonder Woman" was also banned in Qatar. "Wonder Woman 1984" was banned in Lebanon as well, however, at the time Kuwait theaters were closed at that point in time during the pandemic.
Gal Gadot's latest film, ‘Death of the Nile,' is being released in the rest of the Middle East as of this weekend. ( David Crotty/Patrick McMullan via Getty Images) "Death of the Nile" is being released in the rest of the Middle East as of this weekend.
