She was a seventh-generation Sabra, born to a Jewish family rooted in Hebron, now part of the West Bank.

Cohen was drafted into the Israel Defense Forces in 1979.

1982

After being discharged, he studied at university in London, and joined the Mossad in 1982.

Cohen has been described as 'able to inspire the confidence of his charges'.

He became a case officer, charged with recruiting and handling spies in foreign nations.

While in training, he had been the only religious candidate in the Mossad's case officer course at the time.

He ran agents in a number of countries over his career, and rose to lead the Mossad's collections division ("Tsomet").

2018

In January 2018, Cohen oversaw the Mossad operation to steal Iran's secret nuclear archive in Tehran and smuggle it out of the country.

According to the Jerusalem Post, a map of nuclear sites captured in the operation has not yet been made public.

Among the assassinations attributed to the Mossad during Cohen's tenure were those of Hamas drone expert Mohamed Zouari in Tunisia, Hamas rocket expert Fadi Mohammad al-Batsh in Malaysia, and Iranian nuclear program chief Mohsen Fakhrizadeh in Iran.

Cohen has also been the chief Israeli official in charge of managing Israel's largely clandestine relations with various Arab nations.

He has often met with representatives of Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar and helped negotiate Netanyahu's visit to Oman in 2018.

Reportedly, he met Sudan's chief of intelligence, though the Sudanese intelligence service denied it.

He was Israel's chief negotiator in arranging the Israel–United Arab Emirates peace agreement.

In September 2019, The Jerusalem Post listed Cohen as the most influential Jew of the year.

In June 2021, Cohen retired from Israel’s national intelligence agency

At a conference in 2019 in Herzliya, Israel, Cohen announced that Israel has a unique window of opportunity to reach a comprehensive peace agreement with the Palestinians.

He stated that this is also the view of the Mossad unit whose job it is to analyze diplomatic opportunities.

Given the present good relations with the United States, the Russian government, and restoration of partial diplomatic ties with the Arab states of the Persian Gulf centered around opposition to Iran, in Cohen's view there is a one-time opportunity for Middle East peace under terms very beneficial to Israel that the Israeli government must now seize.

The Jerusalem Post reported in September 2019 that Cohen "does not believe anything will move on the peace process until Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas leaves office."

Cohen and his wife Aya have four children.
