Fact Check: Did Gal Gadot Refuse to Present Oscar to 'No Other Land'?

Gal Gadot did not refuse to present the Best Documentary Oscar for No Other Land. There is no evidence to support this claim and Gadot's representatives confirmed to Newsweek that she was never supposed to present the Best Documentary award.

The article from Newsweek discusses the controversy surrounding Gal Gadot's involvement in promoting the film "No Other Land," which was nominated for an Oscar in the Best Documentary Feature Film category. The film, directed by a Palestinian-Israeli team, focuses on the demolition of Palestinian homes in the West Bank. Social media users criticized Gadot for supporting the film, accusing her of hypocrisy due to her past military service in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and her advocacy for Israel. However, the article clarifies that Gadot did not produce or direct the film; she merely shared a post about its nomination. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences confirmed that Gadot had no official role in the film's production or its Oscar campaign. The article also notes that while Gadot has been vocal about her support for Israel, her involvement with "No Other Land" was limited to sharing its Oscar nomination on social media.
