Israeli PM Advisors Share Inside Joke Over Striking Resemblance to Eliminated Militant
Jonathan Orich, a senior advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, sparked a minor social media stir on Tuesday evening by posting a photo of a militant killed in the Gaza Strip. The image was accompanied by a humorous caption, "We eliminated Topaz Look," referencing the striking visual similarity between the deceased militant and Topaz Look, another senior communications advisor to Netanyahu and a close colleague of Orich.
The original photo circulated following an Israeli Defense Forces operation in Gaza and quickly went viral in Israel due to the resemblance to Look. Known for his direct and sometimes provocative social media style, Orich embraced the meme, sharing it as a lighthearted internal jest among the team managing the Prime Minister's media and public relations efforts.
Both Orich and Look are recognized as key architects of Netanyahu's communication strategy over the past decade. The joke was reportedly well received by Look, reflecting the close and playful relationship between the two advisors. This episode highlights the informal camaraderie within Netanyahu's inner circle amid ongoing security operations.
