The creator and protagonist of the series, Lior Raz, expressed; “After seeing what they did to our people and our country, I don’t think it is possible to show Hamas as human beings, something we have always tried to do.”
The creators of “Fauda” announced that the fifth season will address the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel on October 7 and its consequences. Lior Raz and Avi Issacharoff They anticipated that the fifth season of the series will be “totally different” from the previous ones and is expected to premiere in 2025. Meanwhile, they provided information about the impact that October 7 will have on the program.
““We try to give a face to the other side and feel compassion for the other side,” said Raz about the tense political drama. “But now I recognize that it will be very difficult to do so, after seeing what they did to our people and our country. I do not think it is possible to show Hamas as human beings, something we have always tried but now I admit will be inconclusive. We have to tell a good story. It will be totally different from what we have done so far because there is a lot of anger,” he revealed.
“This show puts a face on what it takes to be free and the price this takes on the characters; “That’s true in real life,” Graham said. “This show is about sacrifice, resilience and when you think you can’t do it, you keep doing it. “That is what Israel is about,” he added.
It is worth remembering that on November 12, the production manager of “Fauda” died in the Gaza Strip, Matan Meir, while fighting for the Israeli Army, while Raz and other members of the series had returned to Israel from abroad when they learned of the tragic attack. Raz, who plays Doron Kavilio and created the series, drew on his own experience as an Israel Defense Forces agent to write it.
“Fauda” It has four seasons and began in 2015, becoming the most popular series about the conflict in Gaza. It narrates the conflict from the point of view of a former agent but was criticized for portraying the terrorist side too benevolently. The creators always claimed that they sought to be neutral, objective and find some humanity in the enemy. Raz referred to precisely this when he stressed that it will no longer be possible to find vestiges of humanity in Hamas, which killed 1,200 people and kidnapped 250, of which the vast majority have still been missing for 160 days.
