Israel’s “Uvda” news program is nominated for an International Emmy award in the current affairs category for an in-depth interview special with two siblings who were freed from Hamas captivity.
The TV show receives a nod for its special, directed by Yoram Zak and airing in late December, about the captivity and recovery of brother and sister Maya and Itay Regev, who were kidnapped to Gaza from the Supernova music festival and freed as part of a truce deal six weeks later.
In the same category, Brazil’s GloboNews is nominated for a special about the “shock and the grief among Israelis” following the October 7 Hamas massacre, “as well as the impact of the attack on Palestinians in the West Bank.”
In the news category, both the UK’s Channel 4 news and Al Jazeera English are nominated for their coverage of the Israel-Hamas war.
