As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lands in New York for his speech at the United Nations General Assembly tomorrow, his office says it has ramped up its public diplomacy efforts by plastering trucks and billboards in the city with the message “Remember October 7” to highlight Hamas atrocities and “remind world leaders” of the hostages in Gaza.
“The Prime Minister’s Office and its Public Diplomacy Directorate initiated an unprecedented campaign in New York, featuring dozens of massive billboards and trucks surrounding the UN building and Times Square,” the PMO says in a statement.
The purpose of the campaign is “to remind world leaders and the public of the atrocities committed by Hamas, and of the unfathomable cruelty of the terror organization that continues to hold 48 hostages in Gaza,” the PMO adds.
The billboards and trucks carry the English-language slogan “Remember October 7,” alongside a QR code that directs to a website that presents documentation of the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, massacre, according to the statement.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
