Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was seen laughing heartily at a comedic impersonation of journalist Ilana Dayan performed by comedian Oren Zuzel. The incident occurred when Zuzel hosted Netanyahu and presented a series of impressions of public figures, including MK Arieh Deri and Professor Uzi Rabi, before delivering the impression of Dayan. Netanyahu responded to Zuzel's performance with praise, saying, "Great job, kudos."
Ilana Dayan herself shared the video on her X account, playfully warning followers to "Beware of impersonations." The encounter took place against the backdrop of election season, during which AI-generated videos featuring Netanyahu in various unusual roles, such as a reality show contestant or a Dominican rapper, have flooded the internet.
Netanyahu previously mentioned in an interview that one of these AI videos, depicting him as Dominican rapper Bulin 47, also made him burst into laughter. He described the rapper impersonation as particularly amusing. The rapper, in turn, reacted to the video by initially posting fire emojis, later changing them to five hearts after a phone call prompted him to remove the original reaction, though he stated he didn't know who was depicted in the video.
