For 20 years, Avi Issacharoff has been an accomplished Israeli author and journalist and now he's emerged as the internationally renowned television drama producer, the co-creator of hit TV series of Fauda.

How has October 7th changed Israel? Every family has been affected and Israel has become one big family. Avi’s Fauda family too. 

Do we have the stomach for another series, isn’t it just too close to home? 

And while the world from the White House down to the United Nations and the depths of the BBC is seemingly waged against the Hamas endgame, Avi restates Israel’s position: the war could be over now. 

Fauda’s cut through about Israel’s plight to a watching world more strongly than any factual news report seems to.

What does Avi put that success down to? 

And who is Fauda’s best actor? Find out right here!
