Ori Orr (Hebrew: אורי אור; born 22 April 1939) is an Israeli retired general and politician.
During the Six-Day War, then Captain Orr commanded the Recon Company of the 7th Brigade,[1] which advanced through the northern shore of the Sinai Peninsula.
He was promoted to lieutenant colonel in August 1973, becoming the commander of the newly formed 679th (reserve) Armored Brigade, which he led during the Yom Kippur War.
His Centurion-equipped unit played a significant role in stemming the Syrian attack in the Golan Heights.
His political career came to an abrupt end when "impolitic remarks" about Sephardi Jews were attributed to him in an article in Haaretz by journalist Daniel Ben Simon.
