Israeli Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar has said he will seek to revoke the citizenship of NAZA's directors, accusing filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor of treason against the state after their documentary on AI-assisted targeting in Gaza won a Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday.

The documentary, by Israeli filmmakers Abraham and Szor, premiered at Venice on Thursday, 10 September and won the festival's Special Jury Prize two days later. Although the directors are Israeli, the Venice programme lists the film's country as the United Kingdom, with The Guardian and JW Films credited as producers.
