Netanyahu Threatens Citizenship Revocation for Gaza Documentary Filmmakers

In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has proposed a law that would strip citizenship from the filmmakers behind NAZA, a documentary about Gaza that has won international acclaim while igniting fierce opposition at home. The threat transforms a dispute over artistic expression into a constitutional confrontation — one that asks whether a democracy can exile its own citizens for the act of critical filmmaking. At its core, this is an ancient tension made newly urgent: the boundary between loyalty and dissent, between the state's claim on its people and the individual's claim to speak.
