Israeli minister wants to strip citizenship from directors of 'NAZA', documentary awarded at Venice

oglobo13 September 2026 at 22:28

The documentary "NAZA," by Israeli journalists Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, won the special jury prize at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday (12). The work presents testimony from 24 members of Israeli forces describing how they carried out bombings against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip using devices created with artificial intelligence.

Israel's Minister of Communications, Shlomo Karhi, announced on Sunday (13) that he intended to strip the Israeli citizenship of the documentary's filmmakers for "treason against the state." Karhi declared that he would act immediately to revoke the filmmakers' citizenship, classifying them as "despicable creators."

The documentary gives voice to soldiers who accuse the Israeli army of attacks against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip, presenting detailed testimonies about the operations carried out with artificial intelligence support. The work was recognized at the Italian festival for its documentary content.

Why this matters

The case represents a direct threat to press freedom and expression in Israel, as a government minister is using his position to intimidate journalists who produced content critical of the army. If carried out, the decision could create a dangerous precedent that would affect other Israeli journalists and filmmakers reporting on the conflict in Gaza, in addition to generating international repercussions about the human rights situation in the country.
