Israeli Minister Vows to Revoke Citizenship of Filmmakers Over Gaza War Documentary
Miki Zohar, Israel's Minister of Culture and Sports, has announced his intention to seek the revocation of Israeli citizenship for the creators of the documentary "Nez'a" (Accidental Damage). The film, by Yuval Avraham and Rachel Shor, won an award at the Venice Film Festival and reportedly presents testimonies of "intentional killing" in Gaza.
Zohar expressed his shock and outrage at the film's award, calling it "despicable" and a manifestation of "burning self-hatred." He stated that the filmmakers were willing to harm their homeland to gain applause from "anti-Semites worldwide," which he deemed "inconceivable" and an act of treason.
"As Minister of Culture, I will act immediately to revoke the Israeli citizenship of these vile creators for treason against the state," Zohar declared in a statement. He specifically cited "betrayal of the country" as the grounds for his proposed action.
