An open letter condemning Jonathan Glazer's 'Zone of Interest' Oscars acceptance speech has been signed by more than 450 Jewish Hollywood professionals.
The group denounced Glazer's controversial comments made when accepting the Academy Award for best international film.
The letter reads in part, "We refute our Jewishness being hijacked for the purpose of drawing a moral equivalence between a Nazi regime that sought to exterminate a race of people, and an Israeli nation that seeks to avert its own extermination."
Jonathan Glazer has donated several signed 'The Zone of Interest' posters to a Gaza humanitarian relief action. The filmmaker has kept a low profile since his controversial 2024 Oscars acceptance speech, but he recently resurfaced to donate seven signed posters for his Oscar-winning movie, as well as a selection of posters for his 2014 film 'Under the Skin,' to the Cinema for Gaza auction that is raising funds for the charity Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP).

Antony Blinken, the U.S. Secretary of State, has initiated a series of discussions with Israeli leaders to address the issue of increasing humanitarian aid into Gaza. Simultaneously, he has been urging Hamas, the Palestinian militant group, to accept a proposed deal aimed at securing the release of hostages and achieving a ceasefire. Following his visits to Riyadh and Amman earlier in the week, Blinken is now in Israel, the final stop of his broader Middle East tour. Reports indicate that Blinken is currently meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem. This marks Blinken's seventh visit to the region, which has been engulfed in conflict since October 7th when Hamas launched an attack on Israel. Blinken's main focus during his time in Israel is to pressure the Israeli government into taking specific actions to enhance the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza. He emphasised the need to address the suffering of the people in Gaza amidst the ongoing crossfire instigated by Hamas, while also striving to secure a ceasefire and the release of hostages.
