Netflix biopic 'raises blood pressure' of Israeli spy’s widow

HERZLIYA: A Netflix drama about Israeli spy Eli Cohen, who infiltrated the Syrian government in the 1960s and was later executed, has received a mixed review from his widow.

Cohen was exposed and executed by Syrian authorities in 1965. Israel credits information he relayed with helping it defeat Syria in a 1967 war.She cited one sub-plot showing her struggling to work as a seamstress for an Israeli socialite while raising the Cohens’ children alone, and another where a Mossad handler takes a romantic interest in her while her husband is away under cover.

Israel has long sought to repatriate Cohen for burial from Syria, with which it remains technically at war. The six-part biopic depicts Eli as lavishing money and attention on potential Syrian sources – including at an orgy that he orchestrates at his swanky Damascus apartment to entrap a top military general. He is also shown reluctantly courting the daughter of a key Syrian contact.

Be that as it may, Eli Cohen is a national hero and an inspiration to freedom loving people all over the world.
