Israeli culture minister calls for citizenship revocation of documentary filmmakers
Israel's culture minister has demanded the government investigate and potentially strip citizenship from two Oscar-winning directors accused of treason over a Gaza war film.
Minister demands citizenship review
Culture Minister Miki Zohar posted on X that he requested an investigation into how the documentary materials were obtained. He stated that authorities should determine who is behind the production and whether the process constituted treason against the state.
Film content under scrutiny
The documentary Naza features interviews with military and intelligence officers describing AI-powered targeting systems used during the conflict. One interviewee alleged approval existed for an attack intended to kill 500 people for a single human target, a claim the IDF denies.
Casualty figures cited
Gaza's health ministry reports that more than 73,000 Palestinians have died since the war began in October 2023. The same source says over 20,000 of those deaths were children during the campaign by the Israel Defense Forces.
