The mayor of Miami Beach, Florida, is threatening to pull a local cinema’s lease over its screening of “No Other Land,” an Oscar-winning documentary about Israel’s forced expulsion of Palestinians from villages in the West Bank.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner has sought to evict an art house cinema from city property for screening Oscar-winning "No Other Land," a film about the Israeli displacement of a Palestinian community in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

Meiner is introducing city legislation that seeks to terminate the lease agreement with the cinema, which rents space from the city.
