CAIRO – 25 September 2025: In a surprising twist, Israel seemed to acknowledge the Egyptian narrative regarding Ashraf Marwan, son-in-law of late president Gamal Abdel al Nasser and secretary of information to former President Sadat, giving up on their ‘Angel’ alleged tale.
An investigation published by an additional small print for Yedioth Ahronoth called ‘7-days’ said clearly that: “’the angel’ who is considered the best spy Israeli intelligence has ever had... was in fact the spearhead of the Egyptian deception’.
According to Yedioth Ahronoth, the Mossad thought that Ashraf Marwan was an agent who landed from the sky, so they called his ‘the angel’. Mossad head David Barnea called Marwan a ‘fantastic agent,’ in a special ceremony in Mossad headquarters 50 years after the Yom Kippur War.
The newly published investigation, however, states that Marwan was acting -the whole time- against Israel.
Who was Asharaf Marwan?
Marwan, was described as an Egyptian national hero by two of Egypt’s late presidents, both of Mubarak and Sadat. He received a military funeral following his mysterious death in 2007 and was wrapped with the Egyptian flag.
Everyone who knew Marwan described him as an extreme intelligent and charismatic man who served his country ‘heroically’, according to several official testimonials.
“I have no doubt at all about the patriotism of Ashraf Marwan, I knew all the details of what he was doing to serve his country” late president Mubarak said in 2007-statmnets.
“Ashraf Marwan was a loyal patriot man to his country, and carried out patriotic actions that the time had not yet come to reveal, but he was indeed an Egyptian patriot. He was not a spy at all.”
As Mubarak was talking with editors and reporters during his return trip from Accra to Cairo, after his participation in the ninth African summit in Ghana, he confirmed that what was published about Marwan and his cooperation with Israel and telling them the date 1973 war is ‘baseless.’
Late President Mubarak added that the ‘element of surprise’ in October War was one of the important elements in achieving victory, and that Israel admitted that it has been deceived and was unable to know the exact timing of the war.
Not just Egypt’s former president Mubarak affirmed that Marwan was never an Israeli spy, but son of late president Sadat, Gamal, accused Israel of killing him later because he was a direct reason, they were deceived into losing the war.
“Marwan was an Egyptian hero. He was not a spy for Israel as was claimed to be, and Israel was the one who killed him” Gamal Sadat, son of Egypt's late president, Anwar Sadat said in televised statements last October.
He explained, “they did it because he gave them wrong war timing. They need time to call up Military reserve force, and his information didn’t allow them to do so.”
“I knew him personally; he was so smart.” Gamal said. He added, “Just think about it, the husband of late president Naser daughter, and then, he working with late president Sadat, if he was really as they claimed, they would’ve known about it.”
“Israel never forgets, they did it. They killed Marwan, because he was their biggest defeat” Sadat said.
