- Netanyahu's office urged officials to prosecute those involved for "serious information security breaches, criminal defamation, and harming Israel’s international diplomatic and security standing."
- Netanyahu condemned the documentary as a "false, misleading, and biased" narrative aimed at defaming 'Israel'.
‘Israeli’ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called on top security and judicial leadership to launch a “comprehensive criminal investigation” against those involved in the controversial investigative documentary NAZA.
In a statement released Sunday evening, Netanyahu directed his demand to Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, Shin Bet chief David Zini, and Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, urging authorities to bring “them to trial for serious information security offenses, criminal defamation, and harm to Israel's diplomatic and security interests.”
"The film weaves a false, misleading, and biased plot that defames the State of Israel and the IDF in the world and severely damages Israel's standing," Netanyahu stated.
Directed by ‘Israeli’ filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, NAZA, derived from the Hebrew military acronym Nezek Agavi for collateral damage, draws on anonymous testimonies from military intelligence whistleblowers regarding ‘Israeli’ forces targeting procedures in Gaza.
‘Israel's’ forces previously issued statements denying the documentary's conclusions, while government officials have faced pushback from human rights groups over calls to revoke the filmmakers' citizenship and launch intelligence inquiries into the source of leaked military documents.
