‘NAZA’: Israel’s culture minister threatens to revoke citizenship of filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor

Israel’s Culture Minister Miki Zohar has threatened to pursue the revocation of Israeli citizenship for Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, the filmmakers behind NAZA , after their documentary about Israel’s genocide in Gaza won the Special Jury Prize at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival . Zohar described the film as “treason against the state” in a post on X and said he would act to revoke the filmmakers’ citizenship.

NAZA , which runs for 80 minutes, was directed by Abraham and Szor, who were among the directors of the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land . The film features testimony from 24 Israeli military and intelligence insiders, whose identities were digitally concealed, about the systems used to identify and strike targets in Gaza.
