RT’s Charlotte Dubinsky speaks to Basel Adra about the killing of a ‘No Other Land’ contributor by a Zionist activist
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.
