Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party has featured New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on a campaign billboard alongside the leaders of Iran, Hezbollah, and Turkey. The billboard, displayed in central Tel Aviv, aims to connect Mamdani with figures Netanyahu’s party seeks to oppose in the upcoming election.
The Likud party’s depiction of Mamdani is the latest development in an ongoing dispute between the Israeli prime minister and the New York City mayor. Newsmax reports the billboard declares that these four figures – Mamdani, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Iran’s supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei, and Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem – all want Netanyahu to lose the election. The Guardian similarly details the billboard’s imagery and the context of the escalating tension between Netanyahu and Mamdani.
No right-leaning sources beyond Newsmax reported on this story. Left-leaning coverage focuses on the billboard as a continuation of the existing conflict between Netanyahu and Mamdani, while right-leaning coverage emphasizes the intended message of the billboard – linking Mamdani to leaders of adversarial nations. Not in dispute is the fact that the Likud party created and displayed the billboard.
