Summary

Topaz Luk, a close adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, reposted on X an AI-generated image published by an account called “The Citadel” that depicted haredi party leaders Aryeh Deri, Yaakov Asher and Yitzhak Goldknopf as aristocrats with whiskey and cigars while Avigdor Liberman appeared to be serving them; the post was captioned “Going viral: ‘Liberman’s servant alliance’.” After the repost drew sharp reactions, Luk deleted the post and posted a clarification saying the repost was done by mistake.
