Yuval Abraham and Basel Adra, whose documentary is up for an Oscar, have called out the US president’s plan of ethnically cleansing the region.
The film was made between 2019 and 2023 by an Israeli-Palestinian collective and focuses on the steady forced displacement of Palestinians from their homes in Masafer Yatta, a region in the occupied West Bank targeted by Israeli forces.
His comments have sparked an immediate backlash around the world, with more than 350 rabbis and members of the entertainment industry signing a letter condemning the plan and now, talking to Deadline, the directors of a film about violence and displacement in the West Bank have spoken out.
The Israeli film-maker Yuval Abraham and Palestinian film-maker Basel Adra have said that Trump’s words amount to him “ethnically cleansing Gaza … It is so irresponsible, it’s so immoral.”.
And then transferring out Palestinians from the occupied territories as is happening in Masafer Yatta, as Trump wants to accelerate in Gaza, is also illegal.”.
