We are fighting global antisemitic incitement and when it comes from within us it is intolerable,\u201d Netanyahu said in a video posted on Telegram. \u201cAnd now two Israeli directors portraying the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) as war criminals receive applause at the Venice festival.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu\u2019s attack on the film has been interpretated as a reflection of his concern for its potential impact on the upcoming Israeli elections, which are set for 27 October. His comments also followed those of Israeli Culture Minister Miki Zohar, who <strong>directly equated criticism of Israel&#8217;s actions to antisemitism<\/strong> and announced that he would \u201cact immediately to revoke the Israeli citizenship\u201d of the Israeli directing duo Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor. <\/p>\n<p>Zohar called <em>NAZA<\/em> \u201cvile\u201d and the Venice Film Festival honour \u201cshocking,\u201d adding: \u201cThe self-loathing that burns in the creators, who are willing to harm their homeland just to get applause from antisemites around the world, is inconceivable and constitutes a betrayal of the state.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir also described Abraham and Szor as a \u201cdisgrace and an embarrassment\u201d and told them to leave the country. \u201cI am certain that your friends, that is to say our enemies Hamas in Gaza, will welcome you with open arms,&#8221; he wrote on X.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.6665\">\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n<div class=\"widget__contents\">\n<figure class=\"widget__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/92\/63\/76\/808x539_cmsv2_31f3973d-5407-502c-a67c-cc590670b2eb-9926376.jpg\" alt=\"Graffiti showing directors Rachel Szor and Yuval Abraham with the Hebrew writings &quot;traitors&quot; in Ashdod, Israel - Tuesday 15 September 2026\"><figcaption class=\"widget__caption\"><span class=\"widget__captionWrap\"><span class=\"widget__captionText\">Graffiti showing directors Rachel Szor and Yuval Abraham with the Hebrew writings &#8220;traitors&#8221; in Ashdod, Israel &#8211; Tuesday 15 September 2026<\/span><span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">AP Photo<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id data-event=\"widget_related\">\n<div class=\"c-widget-related__title\"><b class=\"c-widget-related__title__text\" lang=\"en\">Related<\/b><\/div>\n<ul class=\"c-widget-related__list\" id=\"abe-article-related-2\">\n<li class=\"c-widget-related__item\">Benjamin Netanyahu joins Israeli ministers attacking Venice-winning documentary &#8216;NAZA&#8217;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor&#8217;s previous film, <strong><em>No Other Land<\/em><\/strong>, was released in 2024 and followed Israeli settler violence against Palestinian communities in the West Bank.

It builds on reporting between 2023 and 2025 published by the Israeli-Palestinian +972 Magazine, the Hebrew-language outlet Local Call, and The Guardian.A theatrical release in partnership with French sales company MK2 Films is planned\u00a0at the end of September and during October\u00a0in territories including the UK, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Greece, Denmark, Norway, as well as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Brazil and Central America.\u00a0After its run in cinemas, the film will stream on the Guardian\u2019s website, for free.\u00a0The film has also \u201cbeen offered to a number of distributors and cinemas in Israel,\u201d a statement said, and The Guardian stated that they will be exploring other ways to enable the film to be seen in the occupied Palestinian territories.\u201cNAZA is grounded in rigorous journalism published over the past three years,\u201d said Harry Davies, a Guardian investigations correspondent and one of NAZA\u2019s producers. \u201cBut it is also a powerful piece of cinema that will soon be available on screens, large and small, around the world.\u201d\u00a0NAZA\u00a0was shot in secrecy at night on the rooftops of Tel Aviv during the ongoing Gaza war, and features interviews with 24 Israeli military intelligence officers, soldiers and whistleblowers. They describe how Palestinians are targeted and how strikes are carried out despite Israel being aware that civilians are present in targeted areas \u2013 hence the title of the film, a military acronym used by Israeli Military Forces to refer to the number of civilians expected to be killed in an airstrike in Gaza. It stands for &#8220;Nezek Agavi&#8221;: collateral damage.\u00a0The participants&#8217; faces and voices were digitally altered to protect their identities.Since its premiere in Venice, NAZA and its filmmakers, Israeli directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor,\u00a0have been under the spotlight as the film has\u00a0sparked\u00a0a political storm in Israel.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u00a0attacked the makers of the documentary, accusing them of contributing to \u201cglobal antisemitic incitement\u201d.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s shocking. We are fighting global antisemitic incitement and when it comes from within us it is intolerable,\u201d Netanyahu said in a video posted on Telegram. \u201cAnd now two Israeli directors portraying the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) as war criminals receive applause at the Venice festival.\u201d\u00a0Netanyahu\u2019s attack on the film\u00a0has been interpretated as a\u00a0reflection of his concern for its\u00a0potential impact on the upcoming Israeli elections, which are set for 27 October. His comments also followed those of Israeli Culture Minister Miki Zohar, who\u00a0directly equated criticism of Israel&#8217;s actions to antisemitism\u00a0and announced that he would \u201cact immediately to revoke the Israeli citizenship\u201d of the Israeli directing duo Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor.\u00a0Zohar called\u00a0NAZA\u00a0\u201cvile\u201d and the Venice Film Festival honour \u201cshocking,\u201d adding: \u201cThe self-loathing that burns in the creators, who are willing to harm their homeland just to get applause from antisemites around the world, is inconceivable and constitutes a betrayal of the state.\u201d\u00a0National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir also described Abraham and Szor as a \u201cdisgrace and an embarrassment\u201d and told them to leave the country. \u201cI am certain that your friends, that is to say our enemies Hamas in Gaza, will welcome you with open arms,&#8221; he wrote on X.Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor&#8217;s previous film,\u00a0No Other Land, was released in 2024 and followed Israeli settler violence against Palestinian communities in the West Bank. It won the Oscar for Best Documentary.\u00a0Last week, 43 local human rights organisations issued a\u00a0joint statement\u00a0urging Israeli authorities to stop what they described as incitement and threats against the filmmakers, and not to prosecute either them or their sources.\u00a0More than 1,500 Israeli filmmakers have also signed a petition defending \u201cfreedom of expression and creation\u201d and expressing solidarity with Szor and Abraham.\u201cIn recent days, we have witnessed an unprecedented campaign of vilification and incitement against the film\u2019s creators,\u201d it says, warning that the rhetoric was moving increasingly close to \u201ceffectively sanctioning violence\u201d and posed a physical threat to their lives.Tricia Tuttle, director of the Berlin Film Festival, said: \u201cArtists must be free to critically examine the world. Films can provoke discussion, disagreement and criticism, but in a democratic society, the response to art must be dialogue and scrutiny, not intimidation or punishment by the state. Our team at the Berlinale stands with Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor and all artists who exercise these rights.\u201d\u00a0NAZA will screen at the New York Film Festival on 26 September. A theatrical rollout will commence in the US afterwards and in Europe as soon as\u00a09 October.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/09\/24\/venice-winning-gaza-documentary-naza-set-for-european-release&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/92\/63\/76\/1200x675_cmsv2_a6464db5-74c6-5281-99db-c79d74fcab6e-9926376.jpg&#8221;] Europe News EU sanctions former RT France chief Xenia Fedorova Europe News Rutte says Putin is in a &#8216;bad place&#8217; as he reassures NATO allies USA Trump and Xi vow cooperation amid &#8216;healthy competition&#8217; USA Uzbekistan calls for more effective UN at General Assembly Europe News EU sanctions former RT France chief [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2161497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2161497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2161497"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2161497\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2161497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2161497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2161497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
