Haaretz reports that more than 200 Israeli filmmakers have signed a petition expressing support for Yuval Abraham and Rachel Shor, creators of the film 'No Other Land,' amid government calls to revoke their citizenship. The petition follows a larger appeal signed by over 700 industry figures earlier this month.
The petition, first reported by Haaretz on Monday, adds a new wave of support for the documentary's creators following intensified political pressure. As The Zioneer reported earlier, over 700 Israeli film professionals signed a similar petition in July, calling for artistic freedom and opposing what they described as political persecution. The latest signatories include directors, producers, and screenwriters, though a full list has not been published. The filmmakers behind 'No Other Land' have faced calls from several coalition members for citizenship revocation, citing the film's critical portrayal of Israeli policy in Judea and Samaria.
