| | | | | Why Netanyahu Needs Zohran Mamdani |
| |
|
| | | | New Yorkers driving along Tel Aviv’s Ayalon Highway in search of some distance from the chaos of American politics might be startled to find one of their own staring back at them: New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, now recruited into Benjamin Netanyahu’s Israeli reelection campaign, despite having no power or say in Israel. | In a distinctly 2026 piece of political theater, one ideal for social media-fueled speculation, Netanyahu’s Likud party has put Mamdani on a campaign billboard for the elections on October 27, alongside Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem. | The Hebrew slogan roughly translates to: "They want Netanyahu to lose. Don’t let them win." Leave it to Bibi to unofficially enlist foreign characters in his bid to win yet another election. | The Mamdani billboard bets voters may rally against Netanyahu’s foreign critics, even if they are tired of the Israeli leader. | | |
