Netanyahu demands probe into sources of award-winning Gaza film

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is demanding an investigation into the anonymous sources used in the award-winning documentary on the Gaza war, NAZA. The film, which won a special jury prize at the Venice Film Festival, has been criticized for allegedly telling a false, misleading and biased story that defames Israel and its army.

According to Netanyahu's office, the chief of staff of the Israeli army, the head of the Shin Bet, and the state attorney have been asked to open a thorough investigation into the participants in the film and prosecute them if necessary. The documentary, based on testimony from 24 unnamed Israeli military whistleblowers, alleges that the army has used AI-powered targeting systems to kill numerous civilians in Gaza.

However, the Israeli army has categorically rejected the accusations made in the film, expressing doubts about the reliability of the anonymous contributors.
