EXCLUSIVE: On October 9, 2023, two days after the massacre in the south of Israel which has led to an ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas-led Palestinian militant groups, Jewish writer-director Joseph Cedar called his Palestinian friend, fellow writer-director Tawfik Abu Wael.
The two had co-created and co-directed the television series Our Boys for HBO (along with Hagai Levi). That series recreated the events surrounding the murder of Palestinian teenager Mohammed Abu Khedeir in 2014, which ultimately led to an outbreak of war in Gaza that year.
Just four years after the friends worked on this critically acclaimed series together, the October 7 massacre occurred, echoing striking similarities of the real-life events depicted in the 2019 miniseries but with the roles reversed.
Here, Deadline can reveal to you an exclusive conversation between these two Tel Aviv-based industry friends who discuss at length the polarization of their ethnicity in Israel and how they are battling to make sense of things after the horrific events that have occurred in the country since October 7.
