Lebanon plans to ban 'Wonder Woman' because Gal Gadot is its lead actress

Gal Gadot, the lead actress of the moiviw 'Wonder Woman' is from Israel, hence Lebanon wants it banned because the neighbors have been at war for decades and the animosity between them is now apparent in the cultural scene also. Incidentally, such a ban would need to have a recommendation from a six-member committee from the Ministry of Economy for implementation.
This is reported in foxnews.com dated 30 May 2017.

A premiere for "Wonder Woman" is scheduled in at least one cinema in Beirut and posters of the movie and digital billboards have already seen around the Lebanese capital. The country has been officially at war with Israel and has a decades-old law that boycotts Israeli products and bars Lebanese citizens from traveling or having contacts with Israelis.
The two countries have seen a number of wars and the worst one was in 2006 that destroyed the infrastructure of Lebanon and left hundreds dead.
