Oscar-winning filmmaker slams ‘impunity’ for Israeli settlers (VIDEO)

Israel is using the rare prosecution of a single settler over the 2025 killing of Palestinian activist Awdah Hathaleen as propaganda to project itself as the Middle East’s only democracy, Oscar-winning filmmaker Basel Adra has told RT’s correspondent Charlotte Dubinsky.

Hathaleen, who was killed in his village last July, contributed to Adra’s film No Other Land, which won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature last year. The incident, captured on video, drew international attention. The suspect, Israeli settler Yinon Levi, was initially detained and then released before being charged in February with reckless homicide. Critics say the delayed prosecution highlights a broader lack of accountability in cases when Israelis are accused of killing Palestinians.
