Israel's Culture Minister wants to revoke citizenship of "Naza" filmmakers

Correio da Manhã13 September 2026 at 22:32

The Minister of Culture of Israel expressed the intention to revoke the citizenship of filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, both involved in the making of the film "Naza". This decision comes as a response to the cinematic work that has provoked indignation among sectors of the Israeli government.

The directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor are directly targeted by this extreme measure from the minister. Abraham is known for his documentary and investigative work, while Szor is a director with experience in both fiction and documentary cinema.

The film "Naza" appears to have been the catalyst for this controversy, leading the minister to propose such severe sanctions as the removal of citizenship. This is not the first time tensions have arisen between Israeli artists and the government regarding works that address sensitive topics.

The intention to revoke citizenship represents one of the most drastic measures ever proposed against artists in the country, raising questions about freedom of expression and the limits of artistic criticism in Israel.

Why this matters

The decision by Israel's Culture Minister to request the revocation of filmmakers' citizenship represents an escalation in the tension between artistic freedom and extreme political positions in Israel. This measure directly affects cultural professionals and raises questions about the rule of law and civil rights in the country, following strong governmental condemnation of the "Naza" documentary.
