Israeli Culture Minister Miki Zohar has threatened to strip filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor of their citizenship after the two won a special jury prize at the Venice Film Festival for a documentary about Israeli airstrikes killing Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
The film, called "NAZA" — a Hebrew acronym said to be used for counting the estimated number of civilians to be killed in a military strike — contains interviews with Israeli intelligence operatives behind the attacks.
Israel's military denies deliberately targeting civilians.
What did the culture minister and others say?
Zohar said Abraham and Szor were "willing to harm their homeland in order just to get applause from antisemites around the world."
