Israeli Gaza Documentary NAZA Wins Venice Prize, Faces IDF Denial and US Release
Deadline reported that the documentary NAZA, which alleges Israeli officials set civilian death limits in Gaza, opened in New York and will expand to additional U. S. markets.
Israel's military chief of staff has ordered a legal assessment of the film and opened an inquiry into possible leaks of classified material, while the culture minister said he will seek to strip the filmmakers of their citizenship. The Israel Defense Forces has denied the documentary's claims that the army used AI to select civilian targets. The 25-minute film by directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor premiered at the Venice Film Festival, where it received a record-long standing ovation and was awarded a Special Jury Prize, sparking debate over its depiction of Israeli military practices in Gaza.
