A Docu-Action limited series on the secrets of Arab leaders through the eyes of Israeli intelligence services. For years, they were considered the nemeses of Israel and the absolute demons for anyone who lived here. Many of them died as enemies, others finally recognized Israel and began to negotiate with it, even signing agreements with it after giving up on warfare. But how much do we really know about who they were, and how to understand their real intentions in real time, in the days when they openly declared their desire to erase the "Zionist entity"? Enemies brings the stories of six major leaders in the Middle East: Presidents of Egypt, Gamal Abdel Nasser and Anwar Sadat; President of Syria, Hafez El Assad; President of Iraq, Saddam Hussein; Ruhollah Khomeini, Iran's spiritual leader and Head of the PLO and the Palestinian Authority, Yasser Arafat, as they were reflected through the eyes of Israeli intelligence organizations.
