Yehuda Arazi (Hebrew: יהודה ארזי; 27 November 1907 – 25 February 1959), code name Alon, was an Israeli who was active in the Haganah in Palestine during the British Mandate era.
In 1945, after two years of living in hiding as a wanted man in Palestine, Arazi and his partner Yitzhak Levy travelled to Egypt by train dressed as Royal Engineers sergeants.
From there, they travelled through North Africa and into Italy, where they joined the Jewish Brigade of the British Army using falsified names.
Shortly before his death, he befriended the artist Chaim Goldberg, also a Polish Jew, who was commissioned to execute several sculptures and a fully functional water fountain for the front of his hotel.
Arazi and the La Spezia affair gave the inspiration to Leon Uris for Ari Ben Canaan in Exodus.
