NAZA (2026): Plot, Cast, Release Date & Where to Watch

NAZA plot summary (no spoilers)

NAZA is a 77-minute investigative documentary set against the backdrop of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Its central setting is the rooftops of Tel Aviv, where journalist and co-director Yuval Abraham conducts interviews with former Israeli soldiers. Speaking through anonymous testimonies, these ex-soldiers act as whistleblowers. They describe what they witnessed and took part in, and the film uses their accounts to raise allegations of war crimes.

The documentary’s tagline, “A window into systems of mass killing”, signals its focus. Rather than following a single event, NAZA looks at the structures, decisions and ideology that the interviewees say lie behind military violence against Palestinians. It addresses themes such as Zionism, Jewish supremacy, fascism and genocide, framed through the voices of people who served. Archive footage, including appearances by Benjamin Netanyahu, places these testimonies in a wider political context. The film is spoken in Hebrew, English and Arabic.
