"It's unfortunate that Israeli films that criticize the State of Israel and hurt its reputation and that of IDF soldiers are embraced and admired around the world," she said, asserting that the Israeli army is "the most moral army in the world."
"These kinds of movies give a tailwind to the BDS movement and to Israel's haters around the world, and draw cheers from our enemies," she said. "The film's win is yet another proof that the state must not fund movies that turn into propaganda in the hands of our enemies."

The film, an Israeli-German-French co-production, is a three-act tragedy about a father who seems to be doing everything right, but unintentionally brings about the death of his son, a soldier. Lior Ashkenazi plays the father, Sarah Adler is the mother and the son is played by Yonathan Shiray.
The film recently made headlines when Israeli Culture Minister Miri Regev attacked it, claiming it tarnishes the Israeli army's reputation. Regev herself has not seen the film, but was told by a senior official at the Culture Ministry about a scene where a group of soldiers at a checkpoint turn violent on Palestinians.
Following Oz's win, Regev said "Foxtrot" is the type of film that gives a tailwind to the Israel boycott movement.
