The virus epidemic that has dominated the internet for months now has a wind from Israel.
TikTok user Lil BB (@goldamemespt) recently uploaded a video to the popular social media platform showing Israeli MP Benjamin Netanyahu, State Security Minister Itamar Ben Guvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich playing video games. released a video generated by artificial intelligence playing Counter-Strike: Global Offense (CS:GO) together while exchanging profane insults.
The video, which was uploaded on Friday, has already amassed over 20,000 views at the time of writing. TikTok users also only follow three accounts: Netanyahu, Smotich and Ben Guvir.
The concept behind the video is rooted in a trend that has circulated online over the past few months and is almost identical to the Israeli video, except it features the President of the United States. The aforementioned trends tend to feature his AI-generated voice mimicking the voices of Joe his US President Biden, Donald his former President Trump, and Barack his former President Obama.
In these videos, the three presidents are occasionally accompanied by figures ranging from Queen Elizabeth II and George Bush to Ben Shapiro and Andrew Tate, playing video games, creating hierarchical lists of cartoons, We talk about lunches served in elementary school cafeterias and everything. .
This video featuring Israeli politicians is essentially the same, but the AI platform used fell short of mimicking the accents of Ben Guvir and Smotrich.

What did Netanyahu, Mr. Smotrich and Mr. Ben Guvir say?
The video begins with an AI-generated voice of Prime Minister Netanyahu. Prime Minister Netanyahu is shown sitting at a desk with cheesecake, wearing green gamer headphones and asking Ben Guvir. Mr. Ben Guvir calls this person “Kahane bastard” (referring to the minister’s previous association with Meia Kahane’s Kach movement) – where “Kitty Smotrich” is located.
Smotrich, who is pictured wearing cat-ear headphones, signed on and said, “I was in state star country or some shit, preparing to give a speech.”
This led Netanyahu to quickly insult Smotrich’s English, and the topic was widely ridiculed by the actual finance minister inside Israel. In real life, Smotrich echoed the ridicule with humor, but in an AI video he countered with Netanyahu saying he “raped his strange blonde-haired wife.”
The video shows Mr Smotrich sending inappropriate pornographic content to Prime Minister Netanyahu’s emails, Ben Guvir calling it “very haram”, and the Finance Minister telling Netanyahu to “cry to Sarah about it”. It ends with the scene of asking.
How did Israelis react to the Prime Minister’s rant on TikTok?
Most AI platforms don’t yet have the ability to handle Hebrew, so while the video itself is in English, the comments section is flooded with Hebrew, clearly reaching an Israeli audience.
Some commenters responded with laughter after seeing a poster of Andrew Tate in a suit in front of an Israeli flag in Ben Guvir’s fake office.
Some asked why the video is in English and when it will be translated into Hebrew.
However, none of the commenters questioned whether it was genuine. This is probably due to one of the most repeated comments on this video. “Smotrich’s English here is too good to be real.”
