Will Natalie Portman, Born at Jerusalem, Denounce Her Powerful Agent’s Instagram Posts?
Maha Dakhil, whose clientele includes top Hollywood talent, is facing backlash after reposting material referring to Israel’s response to Hamas as genocide.

An Academy Award winning actress, Natalie Portman, the most prominent Israeli in Hollywood, has been silent as her longtime talent agent has come under fire for an Instagram post accusing Israel of “genocide.” Her silence stands in contrast to her vocal support of her native Israel in recent weeks, including supporting fundraisers for victims of the Hamas attacks, on her widely followed Instagram account.
