The new regime in Damascus, under President Ahmad al-Sharaa, does not rule out the possibility of transferring to Israel the remains of Israeli spy Eli Cohen, Lebanon's Al-Akhbar newspaper reported Friday morning, quoting Arab diplomats.
Cohen was hanged in Syria in 1965.
In an article written by the paper’s editor, Ibrahim al-Amin, it was claimed that intensive security talks have recently been taking place between Israel and Syria.
The author noted that Damascus has expressed a willingness to reveal the burial sites of Israeli soldiers who went missing in Syria during the First Lebanon War in 1982.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
It’s not about fixing everything in the past. But finding a way forward that doesn’t require more people dying.
Precisely. Prosecuting mass murder deters mass murder. It’s been done before. Terrorist in Morocco murdered two Israeli vacationers on the beach, and the King of Morocco had him hung. No more murders, more tourists, more money for the king. Kaching, kaching. It works. Druze and Christians are productive members of Syrian society. When they aren’t being murdered or fleeing for their lives.
No. To get peace, horrible things slide. That’s just the way it works.
As an aside, “The Spy” on Netflix is probably one of the best miniseries ever done on TV.
Going postal on a whole population is not “peace”. There have to be consequences or the peace will be fake.

I didn’t say it was.
And while I bemoan allowing animals to escape justice, unless we plan on taking over Syria and engaging in nation building, the best that can be hoped for is a more or less benign tumor of a country.

Sacha Baron Cohen did an amazing job on this program!
It won’t be benign. When Yahya Sinwar was let out for Gilad Shalit, he showed he was a highly malignant tumor. The latest Syrian dictator has to prove his bona fides by arresting and trying these bastards. Otherwise, he can even resurrect Eli Cohen and it means nothing. He’s still in bed with them.
Oh gee...thanks?
