Disgraced film director Brett Ratner, whose career was mired by sexual misconduct allegations, has made aliyah to Israel. 

It is understood Ratner, who has directed blockbusters including the Rush Hour series and Horrible Bosses, moved to the Jewish state to make a career comeback.

The Jewish film director posted an Instagram story last week showing the passbook which Israel issues to new immigrants, granting them tax breaks and other benefits. He captioned it in Hebrew, “Brett Shai Ratner.”

Last month, he published a photo of himself with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara at the UN General Assembly. Ratner was a guest of Netanyahu.
