The news outlet reported that the image appeared near a main entrance to one of Israeli's largest cities, and featured the message: "Netanyahu. In another league," written in Hebrew.

A spokesman for the Likud party, of which Netanyahu is a member, did not respond to questions from Reuters about whether the White House had authorized use of the photo.

Netanyahu is seeking his fifth term in office in the April 9 elections. He is favored to defeat his challengers, though Reuters reported that former Gen. Benny Gantz has made progress in recent polls.

Netanyahu is simultaneously under scrutiny for allegations that he accepted bribes and made deals to receive more positive media coverage.

Israeli police have also recommended that he be indicted in three cases, which have since gone to the Israeli attorney general. Netanyahu has denied the charges.

Trump has touted his relations with Netanyahu and Israel throughout his presidency. He has repeatedly cited his decision to move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and to declare Jerusalem as the official capital of Israel as a signature accomplishment.

The president has also pledged to offer a Middle East peace plan involving the Israelis and Palestinians, though no such proposal has emerged thus far.
