Nadia, the widow of Israeli spy Eli Cohen, responded to a report that his remains might be returned as part of an agreement. Cohen told ynet that "the Mossad is unfamiliar with the story and they are unaware of him being returned." She added: "I am in internal turmoil. I have hope that what is happening in Syria allows more flexibility. I am full of optimism all the time and it's in my head and soul all the time. I don't lose hope."
