Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for a comprehensive investigation into the participants of the film "Naza." In a message released Sunday evening, Netanyahu urged Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, Shin Bet head David Zini, and Legal Advisor to the Government Gali Baharav-Miara to open the probe. He also called for the filmmakers to be prosecuted on serious charges, including information violations, criminal defamation, and harming Israel's political and security interests.
Netanyahu stated that the film "tells a false, misleading, and directed story that defames Israel and the Israeli military to the world, causing grave damage to Israel's standing." This demand follows previous statements made by Netanyahu last month, where he announced his government's intention to propose legislation imposing financial penalties on those he accused of harming Israeli soldiers, alongside a bill with the Interior Ministry to revoke their Israeli citizenship.
In a related development, Israeli Minister of Culture and Sports Miki Zohar has also contacted Shin Bet head David Zini, requesting an urgent review of the source of information and materials used by filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Shore. Zohar had previously asked the Interior Ministry to consider revoking Abraham and Shore's Israeli citizenship due to the film's content.
