“The name is Israel. State of Israel.” With this allusion to the well-known 007 saying “My name is Bond. James Bond” commented on a short Twitter video of himself, Israel’s tourism minister Joel Raswosov.
In the long version of the clip, with which Raswosow wants to promote trips to his country, the politician can be seen doing water sports on the Sea of Galilee, shirtless on the Mediterranean Sea, wearing a suit over the roofs of Jerusalem and, of course, drinking a martini in a bar .
The politician from the Israeli Future Party, who immigrated from Russia, competed in international competitions as a professional judoka in the past. The muscular 42-year-old wanted to use his resemblance to James Bond actor Daniel Craig to boost tourism in Israel during the upcoming weaker travel season, wrote the Israeli news site ynet.
