Netanyahu's party puts Mamdani alongside Iran, Hezbollah leaders on billboard
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's party placed Mayor Mamdani's image on a billboard. This billboard featured Mamdani alongside leaders hostile to Israel's interests. Netanyahu is campaigning for re-election amid political challenges in Israel. He has increasingly used Mamdani's criticism as campaign messaging. The exchange occurs while Gaza ceasefire efforts remain stalled.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party has placed New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani alongside leaders of Iran, Hezbollah, and Turkey on a billboard in Tel Aviv. The billboard reads, "They want Netanyahu to lose... Don't let them win." It features the Likud party's logo, and Netanyahu shared it on his social media along with a video about Mamdani's criticism of him.
The billboard is part of an escalating feud between Netanyahu and Mamdani, with Mamdani calling Netanyahu a "war criminal" and urging the US to enforce an arrest warrant against him. Netanyahu has accused Mamdani of stirring hate and threatening US political support for Israel. The billboard comes as Netanyahu prepares for an election in October amid a politically challenging environment in Israel.
