Netanyahu party campaign billboard likens Mamdani to leaders of Iran and Hezbollah

Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party has featured New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani alongside the leaders of Iran and Hezbollah on a campaign billboard displayed in central Tel Aviv. The display is the latest development in an ongoing political dispute between the Israeli prime minister and the New York City mayor.

The comparison places a municipal leader of a major American city in the same visual category as figures heading foreign governments and militant groups designated as adversaries by Israel, marking an escalation in political messaging by the ruling Israeli party.
