Il Fatto Quotidiano: Ben Gvir e il ministro della Cultura attaccano i registi di Naza: “Tradimento di Stato, andatevene” Il ministro della Cultura israeliano Miki Zohar ha minacciato di revocare la cittadinanza a Yuval Abraham e Rachel Szor, registi del documentario Naza che ha vinto il Premio Speciale della Giuria alla Mostra del Cinema di Venezia. In un post su X, Zohar ha descritto il film come “vile”, affermando che “costituisce un tradimento dello Stato”. “È proprio per questo motivo che ho guidato l’importante riforma del cinema, affinché i cittadini israeliani non debbano più pagare di tasca propria per i danni arrecati ai soldati delle Forze di Difesa Israeliane e allo Stato di Israele”, ha dichiarato Zohar riferendosi alla sua riforma dei finanziamenti governativi per l’industria cinematografica locale. L’attacco ai due è stato concentrico. Poco prima di Zohar era stato Itamar Ben Gvir, ministro della Sicurezza Nazionale, ad aggredirli pubblicamente: “A coloro che diffamano i nostri eroici combattenti, che rischiano la loro vita affinché possiamo vivere in pace e sicurezza, io dico: voi siete una vergogna e un disonore per l’intero popolo d’Israele. Andatevene”. In un post su X ha parlato di “danno collaterale, diretto contro il popolo d’Israele”. E ha detto ancora: “Sono sicuro che i vostri amici, i nostri nemici di Hamas a Gaza, vi accoglieranno a braccia aperte!”. L'articolo Ben Gvir e il ministro della Cultura attaccano i registi di Naza: “Tradimento di Stato, andatevene” proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano. Grovic and the Culture Minister attack Naaz directors: "State treason, leave." Israeli Culture Minister Miki Zohar has threatened to revoke the citizenship of Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, directors of the documentary *Naza*, which won the Jury Special Award at the Venice Film Festival. In a post on X, Zohar described the film as “vile,” stating that it “constitutes a betrayal of the State.” “That is precisely why I spearheaded the important cinema reform, so that Israeli citizens no longer have to pay out of their own pockets for the damage inflicted on IDF soldiers and the State of Israel,” Zohar stated, referring to his reform of government funding for the local film industry. The attack on the two was coordinated. Shortly before Zohar, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir had publicly attacked them: “To those who defame our heroic fighters, who risk their lives so that we can live in peace and security, I say: you are a disgrace and a dishonor for the entire people of Israel. Go away.” In a post on X, he spoke of “collateral damage, directly against the people of Israel.” And he added: “I am sure your friends, our enemies Hamas in Gaza, will welcome you with open arms!” “Attack on Abraham and Szor: ‘State Betrayal, Get Out Of Here’,” by Ben Gvir and the Culture Minister attacks *Naza* directors comes from Il Fatto Quotidiano. #Grovic #Israeli #MikiZohar #YuvalAbraham #RachelSzor #theJurySpecialAward #State #theStateofIsrael #ItamarBenGvir #Israel #Hamas #Abraham #BenGvir #IlFattoQuotidiano https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2026/09/13/naza-documentario-ben-gvir-miki-zohar/8505657/
