US EditionSaudi Outlet Claims Remains Of Eli Cohen Will Be Transferred To Israel
The return of Eli Cohen's remains is linked to Israel-Syria security talks and follows Mossad's recovery of 2,500 secret documents and personal items from Syria.
- On Sunday, Saudi channels al-Hadath and al-Arabiya reported that the remains of Israeli spy Eli Cohen may soon be returned to Israel, but the account lacks independent confirmation.
- Long ago, Eli Cohen was captured, tried in a show trial and executed by hanging in Damascus on May 18, 1965, while Syrian authorities kept his burial location secret and rejected exchange offers.
- In May, a covert Mossad operation retrieved the official Syrian archive on Cohen with a strategic Intelligence Service partner, recovering about 2,500 documents and items including his original will and personal effects.
- Family and public reaction centers on symbolic closure as Nadia Cohen, widow of Eli Cohen, longs for his burial in Israel before she dies; his story remains a national legend featured on Netflix.
- Against the backdrop of talks on a security agreement between Israel and Syria, Reuters described earlier May returns as a calculated goodwill signal toward the United States.
