NEW YORK — The controversial live-action “Snow White” has been banned in Lebanon, where star Gal Gadot is on the “Israel boycott list.”

Disney’s widely panned new musical, which stars Gadot as the Evil Queen and Rachel Zegler as the titular princess, was banned due to a directive by Lebanon’s Interior Minister Ahmad Al-Hajjar, according to Variety.

There are conflicting reports regarding the basis for the ban.

Italia Films, which deals with distribution of Disney films in the Middle East, told Variety that no films starring the 39-year-old Israeli “Wonder Woman” actor, who served in the Israel Defense Forces, have ever been released in Lebanon.

Contrary to what local Lebanese media has reported, Italia Films says such a ban against Gadot’s films is not a new development amid the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict, which the Lebanese Health Ministry. Multiple civilians were reported dead in Israeli airstrikes across Lebanon late last month.

Italia also says the ban against films starring the “Death on the Nile” performer predates her outspoken support of her homeland, particularly in the wake of Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attacks on Israel, which killed an estimated 1,200 civilians, including many women and children. Over 40 Americans were also killed and 251 people, including 12 Americans, were taken hostage.

Gadot gave a keynote address last month at an Anti-Defamation League summit on antisemitism, where she accepted the International Leadership Award, and said that prior to Oct. 7, she “never thought of myself as being where I came from. … It didn’t define me.

“Never did I imagine that on the streets of the United States, and different cities around the world, we would see people not condemning Hamas, but celebrating, justifying and cheering on a massacre of Jews,” said Gadot.

Reuters reported last month that Israel’s offensive in Gaza, following the Oct. 7 attacks, has left more than 50,000 Palestinians dead, nearly a third of them minors.

Among the many controversies surrounding the new “Snow White,” including what many have decried as a “woke” approach to “the Seven Dwarfs,” are the politicized remarks by star Zegler, including those to “free Palestine” and another hoping that “Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace.”

Variety reports that due to starring Israeli actor Shira Haas, “Captain America: Brave New World” was also banned in Lebanon.
