❗️Israeli actress says she's leaving Israel for good, citing Gaza genocide Israeli actress and director Einat Weizman, a member of the Balad party, announced she will relocate to Athens, Greece, with her partner and two daughters, citing years of professional and personal difficulties over her political views and criticism of Israel. Balad is a Palestinian-led political party that advocates for Palestinian national rights, equality, and a single secular, democratic state for all its citizens. Speaking to Haaretz, Weizman said her 'outspoken' positions had exposed her to harassment, cost her professional opportunities and made it increasingly difficult to earn a living. She cited being fired and suspended from teaching institutions, as well as the termination of her representation by the Zohar Yakobson agency following a social media post celebrating Palestinian journalists in Gaza after the 'ceasefire' announcement. "I can't sit in a cafe and drink wine without being constantly aware that people are being expelled from their homes and going hungry in Gaza," she added. Weizman also said she could no longer tolerate living in Israel amid the war on Gaza, saying "for the past three years, it has been hard to live here because of the genocide. I simply know too much to be able to lead a normal life in the Tel Aviv bubble." She concluded by reiterating her rejection of living in Israel, saying: "I can't mentally bear to stay in this place, can't pay taxes here and can't be part of the murderous madness happening here."
