Franco Gonen

Franco Gonen is a retired Israeli Brigadier General and the chairman of the Eli Cohen Association, an organization dedicated to preserving the legacy of Eli Cohen, a famous Israeli spy executed in Syria in 1965. Gonen played a significant role in the establishment of a museum honoring Cohen's contributions to Israeli intelligence and national security. He has expressed hope that new documents related to Cohen's life and service, recently brought to Israel, will provide further insights into the spy's legacy as the nation commemorates the 60th anniversary of his execution.
