A fierce political debate has erupted over a billboard by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party ahead of the upcoming Israeli elections. The billboard, located near Tel Aviv's Ayalon Highway, features pictures of New York City Mayor Zohrab Mamdani, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem.

The billboard's message is that these people want to see Netanyahu defeated, and voters are urged to be careful. Prime Minister Netanyahu himself has also published pictures of this campaign on social media.

In response to the Likud billboard, Israel's opposition political parties have increased the pressure on Netanyahu with sarcastic posts. Former army chief Gadi Eisenkot's party, Yashar, has changed the text on its billboard to claim that Netanyahu should not be kept in power to keep the country's defense system in order.

Similarly, opposition MP Naama Lazimi has taken a dig at the Likud party by including pictures of the prime minister's former advisers involved in the alleged "Qatargate" scandal. For the latest political situation regarding the elections and the positions of the parties, international media and relevant election sources can be followed.
