The collapse of the Assad regime has led to extraordinary revelations, including the recent discovery of a 500-year-old Torah scroll hidden in the basements of Bashar Al Assad’s palace.
This ancient artifact is seen as a testament to Syria’s once-thriving Jewish community.
The discovery has sparked renewed calls for Syria to return not only the Torah scroll to Israel but also the remains of Israeli spy Eli Cohen, which have been held by Syria for over six decades.
