‘A lot of pressure on celebrities to speak out against Israel and…’ – Firstpost

Gal Gadot has blamed co-star Rachel Zegler for her film ‘Snow White’ failure at the box-office.

The Hollywood star was quoted saying, “First of all, I have to say that I really enjoyed filming this movie. I even enjoyed working with Rachel Zegler. We laughed, we talked, and it was fun. I was sure that this movie was going to be a huge success.”

She added, “And then October 7 happened, and what’s happening in all kinds of industries, and also in Hollywood, is that there’s a lot of pressure on celebrities to speak out against Israel.”

Gal Gadot added, “I can always explain and try to give people in the world context about what’s happening and what the reality is here, but in the end, people decide for themselves. I was disappointed that the movie was greatly affected by that and didn’t do well at the box office.”

What Gal Gadot posed about Israel

The actress wrote back in October 2023 when the conflict began:

At least 250 Israeli have been murdered and dozens of women children and elders held as hostages in Gaza, by Palestinian military group Hamas. Starting early morning more than 3,000 rockets were fire.

Hamas is holding hostages, controlling bases and settlements in Israel. There have been more than 1,500 injured and heavy fighting is still ongoing. “I hear their voices and they are banging on the door. I am with my two little children. My heart is aching Praying for all of those in pain.

Also, speaking at the Anti-Defamation League’s International Leadership Awards, where she was honoured for her unwavering support to Israel, Gal said, “As we all know, hatred, intolerance, and bigotry are on the rise. Most of us will never have experienced a worse time for antisemitism in our lifetimes, but we should feel safer knowing that the ADL has our backs.”
