Israeli Culture Minister Miki Zohar says he will act to revoke the Israeli citizenship of Gaza documentary filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor. He calls their work “treason against the state,” posting the threat on X and framing the directors as betraying Israel.
The documentary, titled “NAZA,” is described as an 80-minute film that features interviews with Israeli military or intelligence whistleblowers. The filmmakers say those sources describe Israeli systems and policies as leading to widespread killing of civilians in Gaza, including accounts that they view as systematic rather than accidental. The film won a special jury prize at the Venice Film Festival this year.
Across the outlets, the key details align: Zohar’s threat, the filmmakers’ names, the film’s focus on Gaza and purported targeting practices, and the Venice award. Differences largely appear in wording and emphasis, with some outlets underscoring Zohar’s framing of “treason,” while others highlight the documentary’s claims as presented by the directors and the nature of the interviewed whistleblowers.
