Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for a comprehensive investigation into the participants of the documentary film 'NAZA,' citing serious violations of information security, criminal defamation, and damage to Israel's political and security interests. The Prime Minister's office announced Sunday that Netanyahu directed the request to the Chief of Staff, the head of the Shin Bet security agency, and the government's legal advisor.
Netanyahu stated that the film presents a "false, misleading, and directed narrative that harms the reputation of the State of Israel and the Israeli military before the world, and causes grave damage to Israel's standing." The documentary, 'NAZA,' directed by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Shore, recently won the Jury Prize at the Venice International Film Festival. This follows their Oscar win for 'No Other Land.'
The film, whose title is derived from the Hebrew military term 'Nezek Egbiy' meaning 'collateral damage,' reportedly examines the mechanisms behind mass killings in Gaza. It is based on testimonies from 24 Israeli soldiers and officers, some of whom are quoted anonymously stating that "there was systematic mass killing."
