The Israeli Minister of Culture, Miki Zohar, announced the intention to strip the two journalists and filmmakers of the documentary 'NAZA' of their citizenship. The decision comes after the film was awarded a prize at the Venice Film Festival.
Miki Zohar accused the filmmakers of treason, considering that their work represents an offense against the State of Israel. The minister believes that awarding a prize to a film that denounces alleged indiscriminate attacks against civilians in Gaza constitutes an unacceptable provocation.
The documentary 'NAZA' addresses the consequences of the conflicts in Gaza, presenting testimonies and images that document alleged attacks against the civilian population. The work was internationally recognized for its documentary content about the situation in the region.
The case highlights the tensions between artistic freedom and the political positions of the Israeli government, with the executive demonstrating strong opposition to representations that may harm the country's image abroad.
