Israeli military documentary ‘NAZA’ and political tensions in Spain

The documentary ‘NAZA’ has premiered in Venice, featuring interviews with 24 anonymous Israeli intelligence agents and soldiers regarding military operations in Gaza following the October 7, 2023, attacks. Directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor describe the film as a detailed account of strategies used during the conflict, which some interviewees characterize as genocide. The film explores the psychological state of the soldiers, including one who compared the current actions to the Holocaust.

In Spain, former President José María Aznar addressed the ongoing crisis during a conference in Madrid. Aznar defended Israel and criticized the Spanish government’s stance on the conflict in Gaza. He suggested that a lack of cooperation with Israel on defense matters could impact Spanish security and linked the diplomatic tension to issues regarding Spanish sovereignty in Ceuta.
