Yoav Abraham, the director of the documentary film 'Naza,' claims he and his partner, Rahel Shor, cannot return to Israel in the near future due to threats and a hostile atmosphere. Currently residing in London, Abraham stated in an interview with Swiss media that he fears he is under Israeli surveillance. He alleges the Israeli government is working to damage the film's credibility and undermine its legitimacy. "It seems Rahel and I will not be able to return home in the near future because of the death threats we are facing," Abraham said, though he emphasized they are safe and their lives are not in danger.
The film 'Naza,' produced in collaboration with The Guardian, reportedly examines the Israeli military's raid policy in Gaza, the acceptable level of collateral damage, and the use of artificial intelligence in military decision-making. Abraham asserted that the film's information is based on precise details and verified through multiple sources, not just video testimonies. He claimed the film presents cases where the killing of numerous civilians was authorized during attacks on Hamas targets, suggesting that rules intended to limit civilian casualties might actually normalize them. The article notes that these claims require independent examination.
Abraham also accused Israel of attempting to identify soldiers who provided information for the film and deter others from revealing information in the future. He stated the goal is not only to question the investigation's findings but also to deter potential leakers. The interview did not include a detailed Israeli response or an independent examination of the material.
