Israel's Minister of Culture threatened to revoke the citizenship of Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, responsible for the documentary "Bibi". The threat comes after the film, which documents the mass killing of civilians in Gaza during the Israeli offensive, received international recognition.
The documentary won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival, consolidating its impact on the international film community. The film has been the subject of controversy in Israel, where it has been criticized by government figures.
Abraham and Szor are Israeli citizens who worked on the project, which addresses events that occurred during the conflict in the Gaza Strip. The Culture Minister's reaction reflects internal tensions in Israel regarding media coverage of the war.
This is not the first time Israeli filmmakers have faced consequences for producing critical content about the conflict. The documentary continues to generate debate both nationally and internationally about the representation of events in Gaza.
