Miki Zohar on the 'No Other Land' controversy: 'Eisenkot's partners did not come out against the film'

Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar attacked in an interview the creators of the film 'No Other Land' and opposition members who did not unequivocally condemn them. Zohar accused the creators of an 'act of treason' and called for revoking their citizenship and a Shin Bet investigation.

Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar was interviewed today (Wednesday) by Guy Azriel on i24NEWS's 'Five O'Clock Edition' and harshly attacked the creators of the film 'No Other Land,' which won at the Venice Film Festival. Zohar accused opposition members, including Yair Golan, chairman of the 'Democrats' party, of not coming out decisively against the film's creators. The minister claimed that the film's creators 'committed an act of treason' and that the film may have included information from the terrorist organization Hamas. According to him, this is a 'breach of trust against the State of Israel' that justifies revoking their citizenship. Zohar added that he contacted the head of the Shin Bet demanding an investigation into how the creators obtained the materials shown in the film, and said that if more serious matters are revealed, 'these two should be in jail altogether.'
