Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor are targeted with threats and face public backlash after the release of their Gaza documentary, ‘NAZA’. Multiple reports describe accusations of treason and a wave of protests directed at the filmmakers following attention to the film’s depiction of civilian deaths during Israel’s war in Gaza.
The film draws on anonymous military and intelligence sources to examine claims and evidence related to civilian killings. Outlets also report that the filmmakers’ methods—particularly the use of non-attributed sources—become central to criticism, with opponents arguing the documentary crosses legal or political lines. In response, supporters and some observers present the film as investigative and grounded in testimony and material that challenges official accounts of the conflict.
Across coverage, the core themes are consistent: the documentary generates controversy, public demonstrations intensify against the filmmakers, and threats accompany the accusations. Reports also note the film’s prominence, citing its recognition and awards, as part of why it attracts heightened scrutiny.
