The Israeli documentary Naza, which relies on anonymous testimonies from 24 members of the Israeli security forces denouncing the army’s practices in Gaza and civilian deaths, is released today in France, reports France 24.
Awarded at the Venice Film Festival, the film has sparked intense controversy in Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has requested the opening of an investigation to identify the witnesses and prosecute them.
With the legislative elections scheduled for October 27 approaching, the filmmakers denounce accusations of treason and defend their intention to open a public debate on these sensitive issues.
