The Guardian-produced Gaza documentary NAZA received a 25-minute standing ovation at the Venice film festival, but triggered fierce backlash in Israel. Rightwing figures accused its directors, Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, of “treason”, while protesters called for violence against them. Human rights and press freedom groups rallied to their defence.
