Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has urgently requested the Chief of Staff, the head of the Shin Bet, and the Attorney General to launch a comprehensive investigation into the participants of the film "NIZA." The demand follows a detailed 17-page response issued by the IDF spokesperson, which addresses the film's presentation of testimonies from current and former soldiers of Unit 8200 concerning IDF activities involving the civilian population.
In his letter, Netanyahu stated that the film "unfolds a false, misleading, and tendentious narrative, which slanders the State of Israel and the Israel Defense Forces internationally and severely harms Israel's standing in the world." Beyond the significant public relations damage, Netanyahu expressed "grave concern that those involved in the film committed serious criminal offenses of exposing highly classified information and created a breach in the information security of an extremely sensitive intelligence unit."
Consequently, the relevant authorities have been instructed to act urgently to prosecute those involved. The investigation is to focus on alleged criminal offenses including information security violations, criminal defamation, and harm to the state's political and security interests.
