Netanyahu Moves to Strip Citizenship Over IDF Criticism

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he will advance legislation allowing citizenship to be revoked from Israelis who “defame” IDF soldiers abroad.

He cited the NAZA documentary, which features testimonies from Israeli military and intelligence personnel about alleged conduct in Gaza, as well as a leaked video showing Israeli soldiers abusing a Palestinian detainee.

The proposed measures would also increase financial penalties for those found liable for defamation.
