  • Sydney Sweeney stars in a provocative ad for Novig.
  • The ad samples Israel's national anthem, "Hatikvah."

  • The use of the anthem has caused significant controversy.

A new, highly provocative advertisement featuring actress Sydney Sweeney for the sports forecasting company Novig has generated significant controversy. In the ad, Sweeney appears nude, covering herself with various sports equipment. The ad samples "Hatikvah," Israel's national anthem, with its melody incorporated into the song "Come Down" by Anderson .Paak, which plays in the background.

Sweeney is not only the face of the campaign but also a business partner and shareholder in Novig. The ad's use of "Hatikvah," particularly in conjunction with its provocative imagery, has been met with strong criticism. The advertisement was released recently, and its controversial nature has quickly become a major talking point.

This is not the first time Sweeney has been involved in a project that has drawn attention for its bold or controversial elements. However, the specific inclusion of the Israeli national anthem in this context has ignited a particular firestorm, with many expressing offense at the perceived disrespect.
