Ahead of the elections to be held in Israel on October 27, Netanyahu's party Likud hung propaganda posters featuring a photo of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on billboards in Tel Aviv. In the poster, which brought together some leaders and politicians in the region, the message 'They want Netanyahu to lose. Don't let them win' was used.
As elections scheduled for October 27 in Israel approach, propaganda posters prepared by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's Likud party and placed on billboards in Tel Aviv drew attention. The posters targeted regional leaders, including President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
NAMES ON THE POSTER AND THE STRIKING SLOGAN
In Israel, where parties' pre-election propaganda activities have accelerated, new posters put up by the Likud party on the streets of Tel Aviv sparked debate. On the prepared billboard, photographs of Turkish Republic President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Iranian Leader Mujtaba Khamenei, Hezbollah Secretary General Naim Qassem, and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani were used side by side. On the poster featuring these striking names, the message directed at voters read: "They want Netanyahu to lose. Don't let them win."
GOAL IS TO CONSOLIDATE THE TARGET VOTER BASE
Ahead of the October 27 elections in the country, there has been a notable increase in statements by Israeli politicians targeting Turkey and President Erdogan. The Likud party is known to frequently resort to such propaganda methods, especially during election periods or times of political crisis. It is stated that the main strategy behind this scandalous poster move is to create a security-focused perception in domestic politics by presenting regional leaders and politicians who draw backlash from the Israeli public in the same frame. Through this method, the party aims to consolidate its voter base by capitalizing on the atmosphere created by crisis periods.
