Tzipi Hotovely, head of the National Public Diplomacy Directorate, presented an award on Thursday to the creators of the film "NZA - The True Story." The award recognized Ariel Orbach, Roi Danino, and Hagai Gutman for their contribution to Israeli public diplomacy. The film "NZA - The True Story" was produced in response to an anti-Israel film titled "NZA." It features testimonies from soldiers, refutes blood libels against IDF soldiers and commanders, and aims to defend the military and the country.

Hotovely stated that the film "presents Israel's truth and the morality of IDF soldiers in the face of blood libels and lies spread against us worldwide." She added that the film, which has garnered tens of millions of views, exposes Hamas's crimes and its "despicable use of the civilian population." Hotovely thanked the creators for their initiative, proactivity, and creativity, calling them an expression of Israel's "wonderful civilian spirit" and expressing pride in honoring them on behalf of the directorate and the State of Israel.

The article suggests that the film provides Israel with an ultimate defense against accusations of genocide and that the content it presents, documenting a differentiation mechanism, should be adopted by the prosecution. It also posits that the film's title, "NZA," ironically highlights the meticulous calculations and complex discussions IDF commanders engage in before every strike, thereby proving the IDF's morality.
