00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:20,960
Hello. Hi.
4
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,320
Hello. About your book,
if you could call me back...
5
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,240
on my mobile. Thank you.
6
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:34,840
Please, hello, can you call me?
It's about your book.
7
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,200
Thank you.
8
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:43,960
Hello, hi, good afternoon.
9
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,280
If you can call me,
I'm the subject of your book.
10
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:47,480
Thank you.
11
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:13,160
He was the number one
source of Israeli intelligence.
12
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:21,800
Few agents in history provided such...
13
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,680
splendid information.
Out of this world.
14
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,880
The Israelis believe
that he was their man,
15
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,600
but he tricked the Israelis
into taking him seriously.
16
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,920
He served Egypt well.
17
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,240
What were the implications
of the spy being a double?
18
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,040
Ashraf Marwan was...
19
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,280
the son of an army general,
20
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:14,200
and people see in that
a sign of social seniority.
21
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,720
He graduated in chemistry.
22
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:19,880
At the same time...
23
00:10:21,560 --> 00:10:26,160
he met Mona,
daughter of Gamal Abdel Nasser...
24
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:29,960
President in Egypt.
25
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,080
They fell in love.
26
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,280
He knew how...
27
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,480
to jump to the good bed.
28
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,720
He married the daughter of Nasser.
The almighty Nasser.
29
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,800
Nasser was like God for the Arabs.
30
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,160
Idol.
31
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:58,760
Nasser.
32
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,560
Israel crippled the Egyptian Air Force
on the ground.
33
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,920
And then, Egypt lost the Sinai Peninsula.
34
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,240
Egypt felt disbelief that this
could happen to us.
35
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,040
It was a dent in the dignity
of the country,
36
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,760
and the process of rebuilding
the army started
37
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,240
for one objective, launching a war,
38
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:42,960
regaining the Sinai,
39
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:48,600
and regaining the sense of pride
which every Egyptian felt...
40
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,080
before 1967.
41
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,520
Nasser, he felt that this guy
42
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,240
did not want to marry the girl
for her personality,
43
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,120
he wanted to marry the daughter
of the President.
44
00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:28,760
So, Nasser gave Ashraf Marwan
a junior position in the presidency.
45
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,520
It was like when you have
adversary politician,
46
00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:34,920
you bring him close to keep him
under your eye,
47
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,120
rather than leave him free
to wreak havoc.
48
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:44,200
Ashraf felt in a way demeaned, punished,
49
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,600
and made him resent Nasser.
50
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,880
So, he came to London with his new wife.
51
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,880
But reports back home...
52
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:04,120
indicated that he was loving
an expensive lifestyle,
53
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:05,640
nightclubs,
54
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,080
restaurants,
55
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,400
living beyond the means...
56
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,360
of the ordinary Egyptians.
57
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,760
Nasser shunted them back to Cairo.
58
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:36,280
Ashraf felt that he was handcuffed
with Nasser.
59
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,440
Immediately after
the Six-Day War of '67...
60
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,360
the issue of a possible war
down the road with Egypt...
61
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,720
was the number one priority of the Mossad.
62
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,160
Every country, every government
63
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,200
has to deal with the intentions
64
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:39,680
of our enemies,
and the more you know about it,
65
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,440
the better you can prevent a war.
66
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:51,480
So, military intelligence for the Mossad
was very, very important.
67
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:58,440
The Mossad is responsible for...
68
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,440
collection and special operations.
69
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:22,000
This is not the CIA.
CIA deals with all the world.
70
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,320
He has agent in South America,
in Africa,
71
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,120
maybe in the Northern Pole,
I don't know.
72
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:35,600
Ev-- All around the world.
Here, in Israel, it is focused.
73
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,680
The arch enemies.
74
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,360
Can you describe for me
your job, your role,
75
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:48,760
when you were working in the field?
76
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,280
No, I prefer not.
77
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:06,200
So, '67, at that moment,
we started to look for intelligence
78
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,160
that would either support, or...
79
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:15,480
or the opposite, the issue of war
down the road with Egypt.
80
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,040
Did you have any concerns
about the possible implications
81
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,000
of unmasking a spy?
82
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,440
What did your wife
have to say about all this?
83
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,360
The big bosses
under the Nasser regime...
84
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,280
they were...
85
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,920
unsatisfied with Sadat.
86
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:39,560
There was a kind of rebellion...
87
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:43,720
...and...
88
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,360
Something personal?
Or of a public nature?
89
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,360
The truth is in the court's hands.
90
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:34,440
And Sadat rewarded him.
He appointed Ashraf to be...
91
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,640
the secretary of the Presidential Office.
92
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,560
At the time, he was not 30 yet,
93
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,680
and that is the youngest man
in the job ever.
94
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:07,480
But knowing Ashraf Marwan,
every step is calculated
95
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,040
to build for what comes after.
96
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,640
Ronnie Bregman,
he wanted to make sure
97
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,400
that he has the right name.
98
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,360
but I told him, "Ronnie,
99
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:13,800
I don't know the name,
but if I knew it I would not tell you."
100
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,040
"I don't know the name,"
"Don't make me..."
101
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,000
This was how it was done.
102
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:31,600
And Ronnie said...
103
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,520
"I know the name of the super spy."
104
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,200
And I said, "Good for you,"
and he said...
105
00:23:44,360 --> 00:23:46,560
I was taken aback.
106
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,440
As far as I remember,
I did not acknowledge it.
107
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:01,800
How do you say the English saying?
108
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,480
That butter would not melt in my mouth.
109
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,520
Butter very much melts in my mouth.
110
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,680
So, uh, when he approached me
with the name...
111
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,800
it was some kind of an acknowledgement.
112
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,240
Okay, so how did the Mossad
get involved with Ashraf Marwan?
113
00:25:28,120 --> 00:25:30,640
I was the head of Mossad in Europe.
114
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,480
Somebody called.
115
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,600
As soon as I heard the name,
it immediately rang a bell,
116
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,840
but I said, "No, it cannot be
117
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,520
that someone like him would come to us.”
118
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,400
When recruiting a new agent,
119
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,640
what are the risks to you, to the Mossad?
120
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:53,440
To the Mossad, first that
he might be a double agent.
121
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,720
Number two, he's a liar.
122
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,200
And number three is that
he can surrender you,
123
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,040
which is very dangerous.
124
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,080
But being an intelligence officer,
if you are not...
125
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:10,000
suspicious as part of your
culture and character,
126
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,280
you stand a fair chance not
to be a successful intelligence officer.
127
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,640
And in the case of walk-ins,
128
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,560
it is even more important
to be suspicious.
129
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:38,760
It was a gamble,
130
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,480
because the difference
in cases like these...
131
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,720
is between receiving the Medal of Honor
or facing disgrace.
132
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,080
So, we improvised...
133
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,720
against the official protocol.
134
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,120
And we scheduled the meeting
at the hotel that same day.
135
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,400
The conversation was short.
136
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:11,000
He gave us authentic minutes
from meetings in Moscow...
137
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,960
with the most high-ranking
Russian officials
138
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,640
and the most high-ranking
Egyptian officials.
139
00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:24,560
To be a fly on the wall
in these kinds of meetings
140
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,160
is the dream of any intelligence agent.
141
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:41,520
My task was to go over the material
he provided,
142
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,480
and we couldn't find anything
143
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,520
which gave us any doubt
about his credibility.
144
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,000
Okay, so what exactly
did you do to be certain?
145
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,640
Listen, there's no point to...
146
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,320
to... get into all the details, but...
147
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,360
there was no one,
148
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:06,360
or no one case, where anybody said,
explicitly,
149
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,880
in a very determined way,
that he was not authentic.
150
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,120
Why would Marwan,
now that Nasser was gone,
151
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,280
and his ambition was being fulfilled,
he was the right-hand man
152
00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:18,320
-of the president...
-Yeah.
153
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,160
Why would he want to sell secrets
to Israel?
154
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:45,880
Everything the Israelis say
155
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,280
suggests it was resentment
towards Nasser,
156
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,720
hubris, money...
And that doesn't add up to me.
157
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:56,560
You have to look at
the Ashraf Marwan angle.
158
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,000
"I am a big shot."
159
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,560
How did Marwan
spying for you work exactly?
160
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,800
He accompanied Sadat...
161
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,640
to meetings with leaders.
162
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:28,240
He listened and was able to give us
the inside information.
163
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,640
What was so valuable
about the information he gave you?
164
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,840
It is very rare material.
165
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,800
It was, in my opinion, an earthquake.
166
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:32,320
It was...
167
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:37,240
beautiful.
168
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,920
Beautiful. Really.
169
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:06,920
Ronnie, I've spoken to the Mossad
170
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,920
and what they are telling me
is pretty compelling.
171
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:53,520
Okay for sound?
172
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:55,320
Ready?
173
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:08,520
Ashraf Marwan, I believe that
he served Egypt well.
174
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,640
He did it under instructions from Sadat,
175
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,480
he did not do it out of his own free will.
176
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:22,680
Albeit, he was prepared to play
the dangerous game.
177
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:47,840
It was a holistic movement
within the country,
178
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:53,120
everyone coming together
for one objective,
179
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:59,160
launching a war, regaining the Sinai,
revitalizing the Arab world,
180
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:04,080
and creating a new spirit
for the future.
181
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,800
But knowing that the Israelis had
182
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,680
weapons from the United States
and western countries,
183
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,440
it had to have some cunning in the plan.
184
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:27,680
And Sadat has played this
in the most perfect way.
185
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,040
Sadat wanted a very convincing agent
186
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,880
to feed information to the Israelis.
187
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,880
Ashraf Marwan was the best actor
to play the part.
188
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:53,400
Everything was, like, stage-managed
to the highest possible standard.
189
00:36:56,080 --> 00:37:00,520
They studied very well
the Israeli mentality
190
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:04,360
to create the image to fool the Israelis.
191
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:09,000
And he did not go to them on his knees.
192
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,600
He went to them full of himself.
193
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,080
The Ashraf Marwan angle...
194
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,920
a playboy, fun-loving
with a sense of pride.
195
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,360
"I am a big shot."
196
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,600
And he was very successful
in convincing them
197
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,840
that he is serious about working for them.
198
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:37,360
Ashraf Marwan supplied the Israelis with
the Egyptian preparations for the war,
199
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,800
but not complete,
200
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:45,040
but the Israelis were very happy with
what he gave them.
201
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:46,880
So, he was accepted.
202
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:48,680
The information we got
203
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,200
comes along once in a hundred years.
204
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:59,040
And they call him the--
"the agent of the century."
205
00:38:04,720 --> 00:38:07,880
All under instructions from Sadat.
206
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:12,840
There's this double agent theory
207
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,280
and I would like your opinion.
208
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,480
No other country in the world
209
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,720
would allow this kind of material
to fall into the hands of their enemies.
210
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:21,920
He's a traitor.
211
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,920
He's just a simple traitor.
212
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:26,040
That's it.
213
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,440
How did the information
Marwan gave you
214
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:30,720
influence your thinking?
215
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:36,520
Marwan, he reported
one of the conditions for going to war...
216
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,000
was long-range bombers.
217
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:45,320
And the Russians,
they hesitated to provide
218
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,160
the Egyptians deep bombing capabilities.
219
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:52,720
So, the Israeli evaluators
of the intelligence
220
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,880
were in the notion that
they are not going to fight us.
221
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:15,120
On the 6th of October, 1973,
222
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:21,880
the Egyptian units on the ground
were told, "Now!"
223
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:40,160
Igniting their spirit
and mind and a will to win.
224
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,840
The synagogue was full of people
all around here.
225
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:54,960
We started seeing traffic on the streets.
226
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:56,800
The army came.
227
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:01,440
People were simply taken
onto the army vehicles.
228
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,520
I can tell you, it was all chaos.
229
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,680
They took five kilometers of Sinai,
230
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,120
and they dug in,
231
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,040
and they rebuffed everything.
232
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,960
And actually, our defense minister, Dayan,
233
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:02,520
came out on television
and talked to the nation,
234
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:09,120
and explained to us that
the situation is bad indeed.
235
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:11,680
The war is difficult.
236
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:17,560
Very harsh collisions,
on the ground and in the sky.
237
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,560
And we are fighting for our lives.
238
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,080
When the war was over...
239
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,680
...the Egyptian people
were extremely happy.
240
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,240
Can I tell you something
which not many people know?
241
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,720
During the 1973 war days,
242
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:09,000
the rate of crime dwindled to zero.
243
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:10,960
There was no crime.
244
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:15,400
No offence at all, everyone...
united with everyone.
245
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,320
The one goal they had was
246
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,720
to regain their sense of pride
and dignity.
247
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:31,800
Ashraf Marwan...
248
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:38,160
...he enabled Egypt to gain
the surprise advantage.
249
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,840
The Egyptians are adamant they
got the jump on you in '73,
250
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,160
because Ashraf Marwan misled you.
251
00:45:49,240 --> 00:45:53,320
But it's just the opposite,
he didn't-- they didn't surprise us.
252
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:55,880
They gave us an early alert.
253
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:09,720
Before the war...
254
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:11,960
Ashraf Marwan,
255
00:46:12,720 --> 00:46:14,600
he asked for a meeting,
256
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,920
gave the code word: "chemicals."
257
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,120
And he told him,
"Tomorrow, I'll be in London.
258
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:25,480
I want Zvika Zamir,
259
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,680
the director of the Mossad, to come."
260
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:36,000
The meeting took place at about
ten o'clock p.m.
261
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:49,520
Zvika sat scribbling the essence
of the story.
262
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:58,440
Zvika,
263
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:02,560
he sent the early warning
to his personal assistant.
264
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,280
It was disseminated to the...
265
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,200
...director of Military Intelligence.
266
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:12,680
We could prepare ourselves...
267
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,240
for the attack.
268
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,560
Ashraf, he gave the plan!
269
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:26,320
Wait a second...
270
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:32,560
Ashraf said the war would start at sunset,
and yet the surprise attack was at two...
271
00:47:32,720 --> 00:47:34,000
Wasn't that misleading?
272
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,160
I'll answer it!
273
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,920
See, I saw the full report.
274
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:45,520
The Syrians,
275
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,720
they wanted the attack to be
in the morning.
276
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:55,280
On October the 2nd,
the Egyptian minister of war
277
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:56,960
reached a compromise.
278
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:58,320
"Okay...
279
00:47:58,480 --> 00:47:59,920
not sunset,
280
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:04,960
ten minutes to two o'clock, afternoon."
281
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:10,640
Marwan,
he didn't know about the change.
282
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,680
Because he was not in Egypt.
He went on a mission.
283
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:09,640
-Well, he's wrong!
-Tell me what you really...
284
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:11,080
Tell me what you really think!
285
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,800
The impact of the surprise was, for me,
286
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:44,200
a thing that haunts me to this day.
287
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,160
Certainly, I have anger.
288
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,160
If we have someone like Marwan,
289
00:56:50,240 --> 00:56:56,040
who told us and warned us
a day before to prepare the army,
290
00:56:56,680 --> 00:57:00,320
our intelligence really fucked up.
291
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:09,920
Of course, I'm angry. Very much so.
292
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:35,160
After the war,
293
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:38,240
there was an inquiry committee
294
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:42,200
for the failure
of the military intelligence.
295
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:57,040
It was the responsibility
296
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,320
of the head of
the Military Intelligence,
297
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:04,200
General Zeira, to give the alert,
and he did not.
298
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,640
Eli Zeira, when he was asked,
299
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:11,520
"Why you didn't do anything
300
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,520
with such tremendous early warning?"
301
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:20,160
he say, "I didn't want to bother
the chief of staff, he was busy."
302
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:55,320
The inquiry committee,
303
00:58:57,320 --> 00:58:59,600
they concluded Eli Zeira...
304
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:05,200
...bore the main responsibility
for the failure in the war.
305
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:10,200
Eli Zeira was ousted from active service.
306
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:18,800
And he left the country.
He went with his family to the US.
307
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:25,240
About 13 years after the war,
Eli published his book.
308
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:30,160
He came to the conclusion that Marwan
309
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:36,880
was a double agent and his real employers
were the Egyptians and not the Israelis.
310
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:38,720
Eli Zeira,
311
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:41,960
he want to find a scapegoat.
312
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:48,680
All the stories about the double agent,
313
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:51,120
it stems from Eli Zeira.
314
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:55,200
He want to justify himself.
315
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:57,920
I am furious about him.
316
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:02,680
What can I do?
317
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:33,440
What do you want to prove?
318
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,480
I'll, uh-- I'll, uh--
I'll throw it away.
319
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:46,400
Can you stop here? I'll tell you...
320
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:47,560
off...
321
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:42,920
Let's open up another chapter
of this conversation
322
01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:44,840
that will be published.
323
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:48,120
Ashraf Marwan, Dr Ashraf Marwan...
324
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:50,840
-You think he's a double agent.
-Yes.
325
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:54,000
But everyone who checked up on the issue
says there is no chance in hell!
326
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:56,800
They say he was not a double agent,
he was our agent.
327
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:09,840
Regarding Marwan,
he gave us excellent information,
328
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:15,280
right up until the time of war,
then he fucked us over.
329
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:23,280
An interview with Commander Eli Zeira
here on this show about the Yom Kippur War
330
01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:26,440
made an earthquake
in the intelligence community.
331
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:29,640
Head of the Mossad, Zvi Zamir,
answers back.
332
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:36,760
He, Eli Zeira, is censoring information!
333
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:39,680
He releases information that reflects,
334
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:42,040
you know what,
his sick state of mind!
335
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:36,880
Hello, hi.
336
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:39,200
Hello. About your book,
if you could call me back...
337
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:40,880
on my mobile. Thank you.
338
01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:55,640
Please. Hello, can you call me?
339
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:57,800
It's about your book. Thank you.
340
01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:09,080
Please.
341
01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:11,440
Hello, can you call me?
It's about your book.
342
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:12,440
Thank you.
343
01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:23,400
Hello, hi, good afternoon.
344
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:25,400
If you could call me,
I'm the subject of your book.
345
01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:26,400
Thank you.
346
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:19,360
This is one of the rare events
where people pay with their lives.
347
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:21,920
He paid with his life,
348
01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:24,560
and he didn't deserve it.
349
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:52,040
Eli had a clique
of journalists surrounding him.
350
01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:54,640
And among them, one historian.
351
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:58,200
If you ask me,
and I'm not just saying this,
352
01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:00,080
these people are disgusting.
353
01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:01,600
Why?
354
01:20:01,680 --> 01:20:04,040
Because these people distort the truth.
355
01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:17,960
Yeah, the funeral.
356
01:20:18,520 --> 01:20:24,320
They asked me,
"Okay, he got such an Egypt funeral.
357
01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:30,120
With all the leadership
coming with black suits.
358
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:37,480
His widow stand there.
All the high echelon passed by her,
359
01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:40,280
kissing her or whispering..."
360
01:20:40,480 --> 01:20:45,240
They asked me,
"How could it be that this is a traitor?"
361
01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:49,560
I watched many mafia movies.
362
01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:53,840
When the mafia killed
one of their members,
363
01:20:53,920 --> 01:20:58,200
all the dons are passing
by the widow, whispering,
364
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:02,320
"We will give you money,"
"We will give you money."
365
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:06,080
The funeral of Ashraf Marwan...
366
01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:09,560
reminds me the same.
367
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:26,760
Madame Mona,
what was the hardest moment in your life?
368
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:28,080
Two moments...
369
01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:32,680
...the death of my father and my mother,
370
01:23:32,760 --> 01:23:34,400
and the loss of Ashraf.
371
01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:40,360
But at the end of the day,
as his wife, I lost him,
372
01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:43,600
but at the same time, I feel grateful
373
01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:47,560
that I could be with him
for 30 years.
374
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:38,120
So if he was in touch with Israel,
375
01:24:38,280 --> 01:24:40,960
then it was out of orders
from the Egyptian side?
376
01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:47,160
This is not even to be questioned;
377
01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:52,000
I am not going to defend something
that I don't need to.
378
01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:56,160
This is something that I am sure of
100 percent,
379
01:24:56,240 --> 01:24:59,080
not even just 100 percent...
380
01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:07,880
Everyone fought in his or her way.
381
01:25:25,720 --> 01:25:28,240
Double is very hard to believe.
382
01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:31,920
In my opinion, he was ours.
383
01:28:14,640 --> 01:28:16,560
The fact that he is not ready to...
384
01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:19,200
face the real story and to...
385
01:28:19,760 --> 01:28:24,680
to have the courage and the guts
to say, "I was mistaken,"
386
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:28,680
it's his problem with his conscience.
387
01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:35,920
Unmasking the name
of a human source,
388
01:28:36,760 --> 01:28:38,000
it's a sin.
389
01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:42,240
"Go to hell, bastard!"
390
01:28:42,760 --> 01:28:44,720
Really. "Go to hell, bastard!"
391
01:28:45,240 --> 01:28:46,360
"How dare you?"
392
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:51,680
Because you don't
put in danger a human being
393
01:28:51,840 --> 01:28:54,800
because you want to be famous.
