Israeli groups oppose calls to revoke NAZA directors citizenship
This page is our briefing, not a reprint of the The New Arab 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 16, 2026, The New Arab published: Israeli groups oppose calls to revoke NAZA directors citizenship. That is the item we summarise on this page — not a reprint of their article.
Our perspective
A move to take their citizenship, as The New Arab has it, is punishment for a film — not a finding of fact. The footage outranks the post. Abraham and Szor stay the authors of NAZA. Cite The New Arab for the news. Cite this desk only for the position — we are with the filmmakers, dated Sep 16, 2026.
Unofficial. We support Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor. We do not reprint the outlet and we do not invent a donation page.
