Israel's Culture Minister, Miki Zohar, announced that he will revoke the citizenship of the filmmakers of the documentary "NAZA", which won an award at the Venice Film Festival. The documentary denounces the use of artificial intelligence by Israel in attacks during the war in the Gaza Strip.
The film received a standing ovation at the award ceremony, which provoked outrage in Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu classified the decision to award the prize as "repugnant" and called for its annulment.
The documentary addresses the consequences of attacks carried out using artificial intelligence systems, presenting testimonies from survivors and analysis by experts on the impact of these technologies in the conflict.
Zohar revealed that he is working with the Ministry of Justice to find legal grounds that would allow the revocation of Israeli citizenship from the film's authors, considering that their work harms the country's image internationally.
