Prominent Israeli journalist and presenter Raviv Drucker stated in an interview with the creator of the film "Naza" that he would not broadcast the movie due to its lack of credibility. Drucker explained that as a journalist, he could not air the film because it presented serious allegations without supporting evidence. He noted the absence of names, unit affiliations, or any means to verify the sources' exposure to the information they claimed to possess, leaving no basis to either refute or confirm the assertions.
In response, the film's creator challenged Drucker, questioning why his outlet had not aired any segments addressing the Israeli military's open-fire policies in Gaza. Drucker countered that he had never encountered a case he felt confident reporting on. He elaborated that when investigating seemingly shocking incidents and testimonies, he either failed to verify the events or found the accounts to be inaccurate. He cited an example of soldiers claiming hundreds were killed in bombings, questioning how such a claim could be verified.
When asked why he focused on a specific narrative and omitted hostage videos, the creator evaded the question, stating that 24 soldiers testified to severe actions.
