Israeli Minister Proposes Citizenship Revocation for Gaza Documentary Directors
Israeli Culture Minister Miki Zohar called for revoking the citizenship of directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, accusing them of treason for their documentary "NAZA," which features whistleblowers revealing AI-powered targeting in Gaza. The film won a special jury prize at the Venice Film Festival. Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir also criticized the directors. While citizenship revocation is legally possible in Israel for acts of disloyalty, it is rarely applied and requires multiple approvals. The directors previously won an Oscar for a film on Israeli settler violence.
