Gal Gadot and Skydance co-CEO Ynon Kreiz speak at the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Humanitarian Award Dinner, where Kreiz receives the 2026 Humanitarian Award. Coverage across outlets highlights Gadot’s emotional reaction and her warning that antisemitism is spreading quickly, as well as Kreiz’s public remarks during his acceptance speech.
In the speeches and reporting, Kreiz presents his approach as tied to “moral responsibility” and combating antisemitism as part of a broader rejection of hatred. Deadline also includes a specific nuance attributed to Kreiz—defending Israel does not mean Israel is beyond criticism—and frames the remarks around antisemitism and injustice. Other coverage emphasizes Gadot’s personal framing of fear and trust in Kreiz.
While all three outlets tie the story to the Simon Wiesenthal Center gala and the award, their emphasis differs: Variety foregrounds Gadot’s tearful warning; Hollywood Reporter focuses on Kreiz’s statements about Skydance’s response and references Mark Ruffalo; Deadline highlights the thematic content of Kreiz’s speech on responsibility and discrimination.
