Miki Zohar Calls to Revoke ‘NAZA’ Filmmakers’ Citizenship

Israel’s Culture Minister Calls For Oscar-Winning Israeli Filmmakers Behind Gaza Doc ‘NAZA’ To Lose Their Citizenship

Israel’s Culture Minister Calls For Oscar-Winning Israeli Filmmakers Behind Gaza Doc ‘NAZA’ To Lose Their Citizenship

Deadline

Israel’s Culture Minister Miki Zohar said he would “act immediately to revoke the Israeli citizenship” of Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, the directing duo behind the documentary NAZA, according to Deadline’s reporting.

The announcement came the day after NAZA won the Special Jury Prize at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival. Deadline described the film as alleging that the Israeli army targeted civilians in Gaza.

The reported move places the filmmakers’ citizenship at the center of a dispute over a politically charged documentary and its claims. Deadline’s account is the sole source for the development here; it does not establish that citizenship has been revoked or provide further details about Zohar’s stated plan.
