Netanyahu escalates threats against ‘NAZA’ filmmakers with proposed citizenship law
This page is our briefing, not a reprint of the Committee to Protect Journalists report. We logged the item because it sits in the public record around Yuval Abraham, Rachel Szor, and NAZA.
Context already on this site: NAZA, directed by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, premiered in Venice’s 2026 main competition, drew a record standing ovation, and was followed by ministerial attacks, a citizenship-revocation threat, and solidarity letters.

Summary of the article
On Sep 17, 2026, Committee to Protect Journalists published: Netanyahu escalates threats against ‘NAZA’ filmmakers with proposed citizenship law. That is the item we summarise on this page — not a reprint of their article.
Our perspective
A move to take their citizenship, as Committee to Protect Journalists has it, is punishment for a film — not a finding of fact. Netanyahu do not outrank the footage. Abraham and Szor stay the authors of NAZA. Committee to Protect Journalists can keep the scoop. We keep the stand: protect Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor; screen the film.
Unofficial. We support Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor. We do not reprint the outlet and we do not invent a donation page.
