A documentary on Gaza called NAZA has topped the Italian box office, surpassing a re-release of the Avengers: Endgame film. Directed by award-winning filmmakers Rachel Szor and Yuval Abraham, NAZA delves into the use of AI-powered systems in Israel's war in Gaza and the allegations that high numbers of Palestinian civilian deaths were considered in military targeting decisions.
The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival and received a record-breaking standing ovation, surpassing even the reception for the 2024 film The Voice of Hind Rajab. Since winning the Special Jury Prize, Israeli politicians and the general public have criticized the filmmakers, accusing them of treason and calling for their citizenship to be revoked.
