“The Voice of Hind Rajab” is nominated for best international feature, but actor Motaz Malhees can't attend the #Oscars due to Trump's travel ban on Palestine. “I am not allowed to enter the United States because of my Palestinian citizenship. It hurts. But here is the truth You can block a passport. You cannot block a voice," Malhees writes. "I am Palestinian, and I stand with pride and dignity. My spirit will be with the ‘Voice of Hind Rajab’ that night. Good luck to all of you. Our story is bigger than any barrier, and it will be heard." In December, Trump banned people with Palestinian Authority passports from entering the U.S. alongside those from Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan and Syria. Though Malhees will not be present at the Oscars, the film’s director Ben Hania, who is Tunisian, should be able to attend. variety.com/2026/film/glob…
