In 1945, the Syrian PM played a major part in what was called the “Greater Syria” plan, which never came to completion.

Israel claimed that the former Prime Minister Jamil Mardam Bey was a “double agent” working for France, Britain and Tel Aviv.

Israeli researcher, Meir Zamir revealed that Bey warned Israel’s first Prime Minister David Ben Gurion about Britain's intention to hinder the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine.

Damascus questioned the information narrated in the book. They also criticized it for “misinterpretation of Bey’s position in regional alliances during the early 20th Century.”
