The Israeli Culture Minister announced that he will take measures to revoke the citizenship of the documentary's filmmakers. The film documents massacres of civilians in Gaza.
The documentary won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival, one of the world's most prestigious film festivals.
The minister's decision comes as a response to the film's participation in the festival and the international recognition it received for its approach to the events in Gaza.
The threat of revoking citizenship against filmmakers who made a critical documentary represents a serious attack on artistic freedom and expression, sending a signal of intimidation to other creators. This measure may also generate new diplomatic tensions with Italy, where the festival took place, and reignite the international debate about the situation in Gaza.
