Ashraf Marwan, the son-in-law of Egypt’s ex-president Gamal Abdel Nasser, sits in front of the TV in a room in London, watching the news on the escalation over the Suez Canal. He moves restlessly, pondering. The next scene shows him placing a call to the Israeli ambassador from a public phone — the first step of his close cooperation with Israeli intelligence that earns him the code name “the in-law” or, more widely, “the angel.”
These scenes appear in the trailer for a new film from global production company Netflix, “The Angel.” It was inspired by the book “The Angel: The Egyptian Spy who Saved Israel” by Israeli author Yuri Bar Joseph.
