The actress, who played Israel’s only female prime minister, Golda Meir, in the 2023 drama “Golda,” said she believes in the “existence of Israel.”
“I believe in Israel, in the existence of Israel, and I believe Israel has to go forward into the future, for the rest of eternity,” she told Israel’s Channel 12 at the time.
“I believe in Israel because of the Holocaust.”
She is a staunch opponent of an Israeli cultural boycott, warning, “It is the artistic community that I believe will carry Israel forward.”
Mirren, who won an Academy Award in 2007 for her role as Queen Elizabeth II in “The Queen,” was one of the A-listers who signed a letter supporting Israel’s appearance in this month’s Eurovision Song Contest.
“We have been shocked and disappointed to see some members of the entertainment community calling for Israel to be banished from the Contest for responding to the greatest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust,” the letter said.
