US foreign policy “is helping to block” a path to Palestinians having their own freedoms, Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham said as he picked up the Oscar for best documentary feature film.

The film’s team referenced the conflict in the Middle East as they picked up the gong for Palestinian-Israeli film No Other Land, about the disputed West Bank, at the 97th Academy Awards, hosted by US comedian Conan O’Brien.
