NewzIsrael’s Minister of Culture, Miki Zohar, has threatened to revoke the Israeli citizenships of documentary co-directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor over their film titled "NAZA." Zohar publicly condemned the documentary as "shocking," accused the filmmakers of "betraying the state," and stated that their work "constitutes treason."
The controversy centers on the documentary's subject matter, which details the Israel Defense Forces' alleged systematic targeting and killing of civilians in Gaza. Zohar characterized the creators' actions as driven by a "self-loathing that burns in the creators, who are willin" [sic].
The threats from a high-ranking government official highlight escalating tensions within Israel regarding artistic expression, national security, and internal dissent concerning military operations and conduct during the ongoing conflict.
