In the interview, actor Darko Peric, who plays Helsinki in the series, said:

My previous visit to the occupied territories was an extraordinary experience, and I hope to return to Israel again. I know we have a lot of fans here, and they’re great people. When people travel to Israel, they always talk of the extreme security measures, but when I got here, even police members wanted to take pictures with me. It was fascinating.

Hovik Kochkarian, who plays Bogota, expressed his admiration for the “Fauda” series. Fauda means “mess” or “chaos” in Arabic, depicting units of Mista’arvim assassinating Palestinians. Mista’arvim are Israeli undercover units who infiltrate Palestinian ranks and groups. Whether it’s in prison or protests, they either disrupt or brutally kill those they deem dangerous.

Enrique Arce, who plays Arturo in the season, said:

I must say that Israel is one of the countries that I plan to visit. I have a friend from Tel Aviv. I want to come. I’ve heard great things about Israel.
