‘Nothing in the film is true’: MKs, politicians denounce NAZA film creators as 'Israel haters'

Gotliv also slammed the IDF's response, stating its silence "magnifies the horrific damage caused by this false film, which is based on Playmobil soldiers and not IDF soldiers."

Israeli politicians and public figures have strongly denounced the Gaza war documentary NAZA, created by Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor. The film, which won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival, has faced intense criticism for its alleged fabrication of claims against Israel and its alleged targeting of civilian casualties during the Israel-Hamas War.

Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar threatened to revoke the filmmakers' Israeli citizenship, accusing them of an act of treason against the state. Former Likud MK Tally Gotliv, who recently joined Otzma Yehudit, accused Abraham and Szor of fabricating claims and called for the IDF to respond more forcefully. The IDF, however, has publicly rejected the documentary's central allegations, stating that it relied on anonymous testimonies whose identities could not be independently verified.
