Israel's Army Chief Moves to Legal Action Over NAZA Film
TL;DR
IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir ordered a legal review of the NAZA documentary to assess potential legal action against its filmmakers, calling the film an attack on the State of Israel though he has not viewed it in full, and he also ordered an investigation into leaks of classified material used in its production. NAZA, which premiered at Venice 2026 and won the Grand Jury Prize, features testimonies from former IDF personnel alleging civilian killings in Gaza and has drawn pushback from Israeli authorities claiming defamation.
