نتنياهو يأمر بإجراءات جديدة ضد صناع فيلم "نازا"
(opens the publisher’s site)Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered a comprehensive investigation into all participants in the "Naza" documentary and demanded their prosecution.
- Netanyahu requested the army chief of staff, Shin Bet head, and government legal adviser investigate the film's participants and prosecute them on security-related charges.
- Netanyahu's office said the film presents a "false, misleading, and biased" narrative that damages Israel's reputation internationally.
- The documentary, winner of September's Venice Film Festival jury prize, is based on testimony from 24 Israeli intelligence personnel about AI-aided targeting in Gaza.
- Culture Minister Miki Zohar threatened to strip directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Tsur of citizenship, accusing them of "high treason."
- Forty-three Israeli human rights organizations condemned the government's directive against the makers of the 'Naza' documentary.
- The Israeli military rejected the documentary's allegations as 'absurd,' dismissing the film's claims of AI-aided targeting in Gaza.
