Netanyahu seeks inquiry into unidentified sources in Gaza war film 'NAZA'
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for an investigation into the unnamed sources featured in the award-winning documentary "NAZA". The film, which received a special jury prize at the Venice Film Festival, is built on testimony from 24 Israeli military whistleblowers who were not identified and who allege that AI-assisted targeting killed many civilians in Gaza. France 24's Jerusalem correspondent reported on the demand.
Netanyahu's call for an investigation concerns the unnamed people interviewed in "NAZA." The film received Venice's Special Jury Prize last month.
The documentary relies on accounts from 24 Israeli military whistleblowers whose identities remain hidden. They allege that targeting systems using artificial intelligence led to numerous civilian deaths in Gaza. France 24's Jerusalem correspondent, Noga Tarnopolsky, reported on the demand.
The inquiry demand may intensify public debate in Israel over military accountability and source protection. It could affect the whistleblowers, who may face greater scrutiny or legal risk, and Gaza civilians, whose experiences are central to the film's claims. It may also influence how audiences and institutions assess documentary evidence about wartime conduct. Because details remain limited, the broader effect on policy or public trust is uncertain.
