  "summary": "Israel's Culture Minister Miki Zohar has called for the revocation of citizenship of filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, whose documentary \"NAZA\" won a prize at the Venice Film Festival. The film alleges the Israeli Defence Force systematically targeted and killed civilians in Gaza.\n\nZohar described the documentary as \"vile\" and accused the filmmakers of self-loathing and betraying their homeland for applause from antisemites. According to TheWrap, Zohar stated that the filmmakers' actions constitute treason and that he will act immediately to revoke their citizenship.\n\nThe documentary \"NAZA\" investigates the ongoing Gaza war and takes its title from a military acronym used by the IDF to measure the number of civilians expected to be killed as collateral damage in an airstrike. The film won the special jury prize at the Venice Film Festival.",
