Israeli culture minister asks Shin Bet to investigate directors of 'NAZA' film
The Likud minister asked the security agency to examine whether Hamas or other 'enemy actors' supplied material used in the film, days after seeking to revoke its directors' citizenship
IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir has ordered the Military Advocate General, Maj.-Gen. Itai Ofir, to launch an investigation into the NAZA documentary, according to a Ynet report. The tensions over the film's subject matter sparked the request for an investigation in Israel. The IDF has also sought assistance from the Shin Bet, Israel's Security Agency, to aid in the probe, though the Shin Bet has not yet agreed to participate, according to the same report.
They requested the formal request from Ofir before involvement. The investigation may lead to legal action against the filmmakers if evidence surfaces of unauthorized information sharing, particularly from IDF Unit 8200, which could harm its operations and personnel. The IDF spokesperson emphasized the importance of examining its own actions amid criticism of the film, stating that they will respond with facts and honesty when facing false claims.
