Gal Gadot cheers new Skydance co-CEO for ‘sticking up against antisemitism’

Gal Gadot praised Skydance co-CEO Ynon Kreiz for speaking out against antisemitism as she presented him with the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s 2026 Humanitarian Award. She said hatred of Jews had spread rapidly and voiced concern that people were becoming used to seeing it go unchallenged.

Kreiz thanked Skydance chairman David Ellison and the company for taking what he called a bold stand for Israel and Jewish people, adding that business leadership carries moral responsibility. He previously led Mattel and was named co-CEO alongside Ellison after Paramount Skydance’s $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery closed.
