British Documentary on Gaza War Veterans Nominated for International Emmy
A British documentary titled "Breaking Ranks: Inside Israel's War," which features testimonies from soldiers who served in Gaza, has been nominated for an International Emmy Award in the "Current Affairs" category. The 2025 film, first aired on ITV, is one of four contenders for the award.
Directed by British-Iranian filmmaker Ben Zand, the documentary incorporates accounts from Israeli military personnel who served in Gaza.

Other nominees with an Israeli connection include the BBC documentary "The Settlers" by Louis Theroux, focusing on Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria, and Al Jazeera's "Missing in Gaza" in the news category. The winners of the International Emmy Awards will be announced on November 23 in New York. The International Emmy Awards recognize television programs produced and aired outside the United States.
