Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar has welcomed the Toronto International Film Festival's decision to reinstate the screening of 'The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue', a film documenting the October 7 Hamas massacre. The festival had initially canceled the screening, citing legal concerns over footage, which led to widespread criticism from Jewish organizations, cultural figures, and public officials. After public backlash and discussions, TIFF reversed its decision, acknowledging the pain caused and emphasizing the importance of presenting diverse perspectives and fostering dialogue through film. The documentary highlights the heroic actions of retired General Noam Tibon, who risked his life to save his family during the attack, and its screening is seen as a significant step in preserving the memory of the atrocities and countering efforts to deny them.
