Shadi Mar’i (Walid) has a super-impressive film and television career behind him, and Netta Garti (Gali) is one...
Yes, you read that right. According to news reports, Hamas was so upset with the way “Fauda” represents the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that it decided to counter it with a TV drama of its own. The low-budget production was reportedly to be called “Fist of the Free” and tell the tale of a 2018 incident in the Gaza Strip. Alas, it has yet to make t...

After a super-combat military service that also lent its experiences to the writing of Fauda...
It might be no accident that Tehran became the next big Israeli thing to grace international TV. Moshe Zonder, lead writer for the first season of Fauda, went on to create Tehran, which became a massive hit for Netflix rival Apple TV. Not unlike Fauda, Tehran gives dedicated screentime to lots of Farsi dialogue, Israeli-Iranian and American-Iranian...
One of the best things about Fauda, in our opinion, is the screen time given to Arabic dialogue. And yet, not all of the supposedly Arabic-speaking Israeli actors actually speak the language. One prominent example is Itzik Cohen, who plays Gabi Ayoub, the Shin Bet captain who seems to have an Arabic saying for every occasion. Turns out, Cohen learn...
Fauda creators Lior Raz and Avi Issacharoff earned big bucks when their production company, Faraway Road Productions, was purchased by Candle Media for a reported $50 million.

In a recent interview given to Hebrew-language newspaper Maariv, Lior Raz shared how he can no longer go incognito around the world. He related that on one trip to Dubai with co-star Idan Amedi, the two were bombarded by fans from all corners of the globe – so it’s just as well that they’re not actually real-life undercover agents.
Just in case you have yet to learn what the word faudaactually means, let us relieve you of the uncertainty: chaos. In Arabic.
