A British documentary titled "Breaking Ranks: Inside Israel's War," which examines the conflict in Gaza through the testimonies of Israeli soldiers, has been nominated for an International Emmy Award in the current affairs category. The film, initially aired on Britain's ITV channel in 2025 and directed by Ben Zand, features interviews conducted by Israeli-based co-director Matan Cohen. The documentary includes allegations from soldiers concerning the army's practices in Gaza, with claims of harm to civilians and the use of Palestinians as human shields. It is currently available online in the UK via YouTube and Apple TV.
The nomination comes amid controversy surrounding another film, "NAZA," by Israeli directors Yuval Avraham and Rachel Shor, which also relies on anonymous testimonies from alleged Israeli military and intelligence personnel. "NAZA" claims that artificial intelligence systems were used in targeting processes in Gaza. The Israeli military (IDF) has strongly denied these accusations, stating that strike decisions are made by humans, not AI. "NAZA" received a Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival.
Other productions related to Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict also received nominations for the International Emmy Awards. These include the BBC documentary "The Settlers," by Louis Theroux, focusing on Jewish residents in Judea and Samaria, and Al Jazeera's "Missing in Gaza," which investigates disappearances in the Gaza Strip.
The winners of the International Emmy Awards, which honor television programs produced and initially aired outside the United States, will be announced on November 23 in New York.
