Meryl, who heads the festival's film panel for the first time, had been asked by an Egyptian reporter whether she understood films from the Arab world and North Africa.
The actress admitted she didn't know much about the region, but had 'played a lot of different people from a lot of different cultures.'

Streep also asserted that she was committed to equality and inclusion 'of all genders, races, ethnicities, religions.'
