Story summary
Israeli Culture Minister Miki Zohar has threatened to strip Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, directors of the Venice Film Festival-winning documentary "NAZA," of their citizenship. The film accuses the Israeli military of deliberately targeting Palestinian civilians in Gaza during recent conflicts, using AI-powered systems that estimated collateral damage. Despite winning a special jury prize at the festival, Zohar called it a betrayal and accused the filmmakers of treason for allegedly aiding enemies during wartime. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also criticized "NAZA," saying it's part of global anti-Semitic incitement. The Israeli military chief ordered a legal review to examine possible actions against those involved in the film.
