Danny Cohen, the executive producer and co-financier of "The Zone of Interest," has publicly disagreed with director Jonathan Glazer's 2024 Oscars acceptance speech, which addressed the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. Cohen defended the film as a "great piece of art" but expressed that Glazer's speech upset many people, particularly in the Jewish community. Cohen emphasized his unwavering support for Israel and criticized Glazer for choosing the wrong time and place to voice opposition to the conflict, stating that it lacked proper context and was a distraction from the film's artistic merit.
