Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for a comprehensive investigation into the participants of the film "Nez'a," demanding that the Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, Shin Bet head David Zini, and Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara examine the possibility of prosecuting them for severe information security offenses, criminal defamation, and harm to Israel's state and security interests. Netanyahu described the film as a "false, misleading, and tendentious narrative" that defames Israel and the IDF internationally, severely damaging the country's standing.
The demand follows a report alleging connections between the film's creator, Yuval Abraham, and terror elements and families of terrorists, based on research by the Yesha Council's intelligence hub. Yisrael Gantz, head of the Yesha Council, stated there is significant suspicion of ties to Hamas operatives and other terrorists. Minister of Culture and Sport Miki Zohar also urged the Shin Bet to investigate whether any actions were taken on behalf of a terror organization during wartime.
The film "Nez'a," created by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Shor, has also achieved commercial success in Italy, topping the box office charts with approximately 451,000 euros on its opening day and nearing one million euros within three days. Its screening period has been extended due to high demand.
This success comes amid a backdrop of pro-Palestinian protests in Italy in recent years, some of which have involved violence and antisemitic rhetoric. Audience reactions to the film's screenings have been mixed, with some theaters showing Palestinian flags and applause, while others observed silence. One cinema worker in Rome described the audience's reaction as "shocked during the viewing."
