Israeli artist Yula Benivolski renounces Israeli citizenship in protest against Gaza aggression

In a video statement, renowned Jewish-Israeli artist and filmmaker Yula Benivolski announces her decision to renounce her Israeli citizenship, citing decades of reflection and a newfound awareness of Israel’s history.

Benivolski expresses satisfaction with her decision, attributing it to a deeper understanding of Israel’s reality, which was not adequately taught in schools or recognized during her life in Israel.
