Michael Douglas is a legend of the silver screen. What he saw today in the south of Israel however, is no movie set.

“It’s a very difficult time. You sense the deep shock of this whole experience,” Douglas said, expressing hope that the hostages would be released soon. Douglas also criticised pro-Palestinian protesters on American university campuses, claiming that many have been subject to “brainwashing”.Douglas is the latest in a line of American celebrities and politicians who have visited Israel and toured the southern area near the Gaza border since October 7.We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues.
