"It is very rare for Israeli citizenships to be revoked, even in extreme cases"

CNN Portugal15 September 2026 at 09:36

Israel's Culture Minister threatened to revoke the citizenship of filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, authors of the documentary "Naza". This threat comes in response to the production of the documentary.

The CNN Portugal correspondent in Israel, Henry Galsky, spoke with a law specialist to understand the contours of the case and the legal implications of this threat.

According to the specialist consulted, it is very rare for Israeli citizenships to be revoked, even in extreme cases, which makes this threat particularly unusual in Israel's legal landscape.

Why this matters

This case is relevant for readers in the region because it exposes tensions between freedom of expression and government actions in Israel, potentially affecting the cinematographic and journalistic community. The threat of citizenship revocation represents a concerning precedent that may have broader implications for other content creators in the region.
