\n\tFor the new season of Netflix\u2018s Fauda<\/a>, the creators are set to confront the Oct. 7<\/a> attacks and aftermath. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn an interview with the New York Times <\/a>ahead of the show\u2018s fifth season premiering on the streamer Tuesday, Lior Raz describes taking on that day and aftermath in the show is \u201cmaybe the most important thing that we ever wrote.\u201d Raz also stars in the series as Doron. <\/p>\n

\n\tHis writing partner, Avi Issacharoff\u00a0added, \u201cThis was something that burned inside us, that we felt we had to spill it out. The pain, the sadness, the catastrophe, the loss of people, the loss of\u00a0close\u00a0people. The confusion during that day, the impotence of the Israeli public, but also especially the people that were living there in Gaza\u2019s periphery.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to Netflix, the 11-episode season will feature two episodes that take place on Oct. 7, 2023 and follow the characters through their experiences of that day. The rest of the reason will take place two years later. \u201cTwo years after October 7th, and haunted by their trauma,\u00a0Fauda\u2019s fighters embark on a deadly race to stop a catastrophic attack on Israel, forcing them to confront the true cost of fighting the war after the war,\u201c a synopsis for season five reads.<\/p>\n

\n\tGiven the Gaza war was underway while they planned the season, the NYT reports that \u201cthey plotted a story that steered clear of Gaza almost entirely, ranging instead from Europe to Israel with stops elsewhere in the Middle East.\u201c <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYou try to be as close to reality as possible. On the other hand, you cannot show everything, because it\u2019s too terrible,\u201c Issacharoff said. <\/p>\n

\n\tDespite the season premiering amid ongoing boycotts and backlash<\/a> with many speaking out<\/a> on the Israel-Gaza conflict<\/a>, Raz told the NYT he wants viewers to \u201clove the show\u201c but also, \u201cI want them to look in my character\u2019s eyes, and to see what we felt on those days. If it would happen in their countries, they would feel exactly like we felt and how we feel about the world. So I hope it would open people\u2019s eyes to see what happened on Oct. 7.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a separate interview with Netfix\u2018s Tudum<\/a>, Issacharoff said of writing the two episodes centered on Oct. 7, \u201cWe were shaking.\u201c<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHere in Israel, it\u2019s something that no one can forget,\u201d Issacharoff said, adding that the writers asked themselves while crafting the season, \u201c\u2018Am I going to do something that will make people suffer more? [Make people] more sad? Hurt people that lost their closest [loved ones]? Hurt people on the other side?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBut,\u201d he added, \u201cI think that we went with our truth \u2014 with our belief \u2014 that this is the right story to tell, and this is the right way to tell the story.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis is a TV show,\u201d Issacharoff reiterated. \u201cIt\u2019s not reality. But still, we thought that there was a story here to be told. We wanted to ask very tough questions to people all over the world, not only in Israel.\u201c <\/p>\n

\n\tWriting the new season, Issacharoff said, allowed him to \u201cbreathe again.\u201c<\/p>\n

\n\tHe explained, \u201cIt allowed me to take all the pain, and even anger, and put it in a document, to put it in a script, and to send it all over the world to people in America, in Europe, in the Middle East, in Israel, of course. At the end, I felt that this was the most important thing that I\u2019ve done in my career, ever. In the last 26 years that I\u2019ve been a journalist and an analyst, this is the most sacred mission that I\u2019ve had, the most important thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAlongside Raz, M\u00e9lanie Laurent , Hakim Djaziri, Yaakov Zada Daniel and Doron Ben-David also star in the series. <\/p>\n

\n\tOmri Givon directed the season with Omri Shenhar, Issacharoff, Raz, Sari Azoulay Turgeman, Givon, Yona Rozenkier, and Nir Berger writing. It was created and executive produced by Issacharoff and Raz, and produced by Liat Benasuly.<\/p>\n
