Lior Raz — actor (fauda) with roots in the Russian Empire
Lior Raz is an Israeli actor, writer, and producer who co-created and stars in Fauda — the Netflix thriller about undercover Israeli operatives in the Palestinian territories — which became one of the most internationally watched Israeli series ever made. A former special forces soldier himself, he brings authentic experience to the role.
Tracing the roots — Iraq / Algeria
Raz's family has mixed origins including connections to Iraqi and Algerian Jewish communities, both historically within the Ottoman and Russian Imperial spheres of influence through trade and religious networks. His story as an Israeli creator who brought his military experience into global entertainment reflects the diverse cultural streams that flow through Israeli society.
