Jerusalem, 14 September, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israel Beitenu Chairman Avigdor Liberman sharply attacked the film “NZA” (“Collateral Damage”), calling it direct harm to the State of Israel and an act of treason.
Liberman said that some people are willing to “sell the country, the people and their values” in pursuit of personal fame.
The film, produced by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, was screened––followed by a 28-minute standing ovation––at the Venice Film Festival and has triggered fierce political criticism in Israel.
Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar announced that he would immediately seek to revoke the Israeli citizenship of the film’s creators.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and defense establishment have categorically rejected the allegations.
