Snow White is a 2025 US children's romance by Marc Webb
Starring Rachel Zegler, Gal Gadot and Tituss Burgess

The live-action remake of Disney's Snow White has been officially banned in both Lebanon and Kuwait, largely due to the casting of Israeli actress Gal Gadot in the role of the Evil Queen, local media sources have reported. Haberin Devami

Lebanon's Interior Minister signed the ban after a recommendation from the country's General Security's Film Control Committee. The committee cited Gadot's inclusion as the principal reason for rejecting the film, highlighting her past service in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and her public support for the Israeli military's actions in Gaza.

Kuwait's decision came shortly afterward, reportedly under pressure from civil society organizations and in line with the country's long-standing policy of opposing any form of cultural normalization with Israel.
