Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted an AI-generated campaign video Friday depicting New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani celebrating with Iran’s supreme leader and other foreign leaders over the prospect of Netanyahu losing Israel’s upcoming election.<\/p>\n

The video<\/a>, posted to Netanyahu’s personal X account, depicts computer-generated versions of Mamdani, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, The New York Times<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

The images in the video are labeled as AI-generated.<\/p>\n

“Erdogan, bro, are you coming to the party of the fall of Netanyahu’s elections?” the fictional version of Mamdani asks Erdogan during a telephone call.<\/p>\n

Khamenei and Abbas then join the fictional conversation, according to the Times, with the group celebrating the possibility of Netanyahu’s defeat.<\/p>\n

The video ends with Netanyahu winning the election and the others calling off their celebration.<\/p>\n

“They want Netanyahu to fall. Don’t let them win,” a narrator says in Hebrew, according to the Times.<\/p>\n

Mamdani’s office declined to comment to the newspaper.<\/p>\n

The video comes amid an increasingly public dispute between Netanyahu and Mamdani, a longtime critic of Israel’s military operations in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu’s Likud Party also has used campaign billboards<\/a> depicting Mamdani alongside Khamenei, Erdogan and Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem, according to the Times. One billboard carries the message, “Don’t let them win.”<\/p>\n

Netanyahu has accused Mamdani of “fomenting hate.”<\/p>\n

Mamdani, meanwhile, has repeatedly called Netanyahu a “war criminal” and pledged during his mayoral campaign to have the Israeli leader arrested if he traveled to New York under a 2024 International Criminal Court warrant.<\/p>\n

Mamdani acknowledged in July that New York City lacks the legal authority to enforce the warrant but called on the federal government to arrest Netanyahu. The United States is not a member of the ICC and does not recognize the court’s jurisdiction.<\/p>\n

The ICC accused Netanyahu of war crimes and crimes against humanity stemming from Israel’s war against Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Israel rejects the allegations and the court’s jurisdiction.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump also has ruled out any arrest of Netanyahu during his expected visit to New York later this month for the United Nations General Assembly.<\/p>\n

“Benjamin Netanyahu will not be arrested, in any way, shape, or form, while in the United States of America,” Trump said in July.<\/p>\n
