Israeli culture minister Mickey Zohar announced that he will move to revoke the citizenship of Oscar-winning filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Shore after their documentary Naza about the increased use of AI in Israeli attacks on Gaza won the special jury prize at the Venice Film Festival.

In a post on X Yesterday, Zohar called the documentary, quote, vile and its win at the film festival shocking.

He added, quote, as culture minister, I will act immediately to revoke the Israeli citizenship of those despicable creators for treason against the state.
