'Blood libel': Chief of Staff Zamir orders IDF to pursue legal action against 'NAZA' producers
IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir reacted to the documentary 'NAZA,' alleging it was based on 'blood libels,' and ordered that potential legal action be taken against the producers.
Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir has ordered the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to pursue legal action against the producers of the documentary NAZA, alleging that it spreads "blood libels." The IDF Chief of Staff instructed the Military Advocate General to "examine and advance possible legal measures concerning the film and those involved in it."
According to Zamir, the documentary is based on "blood libels, deliberate distortions of reality, and grave, false accusations against IDF soldiers and commanders." He further defended the IDF, stating that it operates in accordance with international law. The documentary, produced by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival and is based on interviews with 24 Israeli soldiers and officers.
Israeli officials, including Zamir, have rejected the allegations, calling it an attack on the State of Israel.
