‘NAZA’: The film shocking Israeli society‘NAZA’: The film shocking Israeli society

Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor bring the testimony behind NAZA to an extended Channel 4 News interview: accounts from Israeli soldiers and intelligence officers about the war in Gaza. The discussion became the channel's most-watched upload of the week, reaching roughly 270,000 views.

The documentary examines automated AI targeting and the calculation of civilian casualty rates, according to the filmmakers. Channel 4's interview also addresses the hostile reception they describe at home, alongside the film's international reception. In the comments, a practical question emerges amid the political responses: viewers are asking the broadcaster to show the documentary itself. The interview is not the full film, which its description says is showing in UK cinemas.

Ukraine supplies another substantial strand of the week's coverage. A report follows Volodymyr Zelenskyy's search for European backing in Brussels, while correspondent and author Åsne Seierstad discusses ordinary Russians' lives during the war through her book Never Say War.

Across the channel, daily viewing is running at more than twice its usual level, and the subscriber total grew by about 10,000 over the week. Guardian News is also seeing more than twice its typical daily viewing, while CBC News is having a slower day than usual.

NAZA has the strongest current momentum among Channel 4 News uploads. Two reports on France's protests follow it, covering demonstrations over living costs and education that have brought students, trade unionists and Yellow Vest campaigners into the streets.
