In the 1962 interview on Damascus Radio, Eli Cohen is in character as businessman Kamal Amin Thabit. He comments on Arabic music and society, but the sound quality of some of the excerpts heard Sunday was unclear.
The broadcast came as tensions between Israel and Syria have been on the rise, as each side charges that the other is preparing for war.
