Israeli backlash to ‘NAZA’ documentary ‘much more venal’ than expected: Director

This page is our briefing, not a reprint of the Arab News 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 Oct 16, 2026, Arab News published: Israeli backlash to ‘NAZA’ documentary ‘much more venal’ than expected: Director. That is the item we summarise on this page — not a reprint of their article.

Our perspective

If Arab News is arguing the film, argue the film. Do not launder that into a campaign against the two directors. This desk is with Abraham and Szor. Arab News 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.
