I think he means Drukmann, the creator of The Last of Us.

Seems a bit overblown though.
Wikipedia's summary of an article interviewing him and other studio members pretty much says he actually doesn't support Israel and in fact felt disgusted about having had feelings of anger for the Palestinian protestors who killed 2 Israeli soldiers in 2000. And he pretty much says that in the game he wanted the player to go on a similar emotional rollercoaster.
He supposedly also donated to emergency response teams on both sides of the conflict
I honestly had no idea who the dude was until now as I'm not really a PlayStation guy, but I'm not sure he's much of a zionist. He was born in an Israeli settlement and it's certainly shaped him in some ways, but has he ever voiced support for the genocide?
Ya that's mostly my view on it from what little I've read. The donations was days after the attack as well. It says a lot that he still donated to both sides even when he comes from Israel and when at the time, Israel was very much the victim in the eyes of the media.
