Israeli actress and director Einat Weizman announced that she will leave Israel and move to Athens, Greece, with her partner and two daughters, citing the ongoing genocide in Gaza and professional and personal difficulties outweighing her political views.
In an interview with Haaretz, Weizmann said that she could no longer live a normal life in the "Tel Aviv bubble" while Palestinians were displaced from their homes and starving in Gaza. "I can't sit in a cafe and drink wine without being constantly aware that people are being driven from their homes and starving in Gaza," she said.
She also revealed that she was fired or suspended from cultural institutions where she taught because of her outspoken views.
