Likud’s depiction of Zohran Mamdani is latest move in spat between Israel’s prime minister and New York City mayor
Benjamin Netanyahu’s party has compared the New York City mayor, Zohran Mamdani, to the leaders of Iran and Hezbollah on a campaign billboard.
The billboard in central Tel Aviv depicts Mamdani alongside the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Iran’s supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, and the chief of the militant group Hezbollah, Naim Qassem.
“They want Netanyahu to lose … Don’t let them win,” says the poster featuring the logo of Netanyahu’s rightwing Likud party.
Netanyahu has entered campaign mode to keep his far-right coalition in power after the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, was dissolved in July before elections in October – the first since the Hamas-led attacks of 7 October 2023.



Have you ever met a large group of people that can keep even the smallest secret? Imagine a global network of puppet masters that nobody knows about, not even the puppets, and tell me that that shit doesn’t spill out very publicly.
This is an insane and unjustifiable conspiracy theory. It’s more likely that 9/11 was an inside job, and it wasn’t.
