Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would advance legislation allowing Israel to revoke the citizenship of people who defame soldiers or the state abroad, citing “NAZA,” the prize-winning documentary accusing the military of knowingly killing large numbers of civilians in Gaza.
The Israeli power threatened to deprive the two directors of the documentary "Naza" of their nationality. An overbidding in the middle of the election campaign instead of letting the debate take place, even criticizing the flaws of the feature film.
Netanyahu announced two bills after ‘NAZA’: one proposes to withdraw citizenship for defaming Israeli soldiers and another to raise fines for defamation
