EXCLUSIVE: Israeli drama-thriller Incitement, the country’s international Oscar hopeful, has scored a U.S. deal for WestEnd Films with Greenwich Entertainment. Writer-director Yaron Zilberman…

Writer-director Yaron Zilberman’s Toronto title chronicles the year leading up to the assassination of Israel’s prime minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1995. Set against the backdrop of Rabin’s efforts to end the Israeli-Palestian conflict, the film is told through the journey of the assassin, Yigal Amir.

The film examines all the forces that acted on him, from his personal quest to become a hero in the eyes of his peers, and the rejection he faces from his love interest, to the intense incitement of politicians and religious leaders.Pic was co-written by Ron Leshem and Yaron Zilberman. Yehuda Nahari Halevi stars as Yigal Amir, alongside Amitay Yaish Ben Ousilio , Anat Ravnizky, Yoav Levi, Dolev Ohana, Raanan Paz, Sivan Mast and Daniella Kertesz.

Producers are David Silber for Metro Communications, Sharon Harel-Cohen for WestEnd Films, Tamar Sela for Opening Night Productions, Ruth Cats for Sunshine Films, Moshe Edery for United King Films, as well as Zilberman and Leshem. Last month, the movie picked up the best film prize at Israel’s Ophir Awards, a decision which was met with condemnation from the country’s outspoken culture minister Miri Regev, who said the film had “no place” in the country due to its perceived criticism of prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
