US Pro-Palestinian groups push to open criminal proceedings against Jerusalem Deputy Mayor
King rejected the allegations against him, telling Walla that he is “proud to be a loyal emissary of the Jewish people in Israel and around the world."
The Hind Rajab Foundation has filed a request with the US Justice Department to initiate criminal proceedings against Jerusalem Deputy Mayor Aryeh King. The foundation accuses King of involvement in "illegal population transfer" and "incitement to genocide" during his tenure. King, who holds Israeli and British citizenship, is expected to visit the US next week for a fundraising tour.
He is a prominent figure in Jewish settlement efforts in East Jerusalem, and the foundation claims he has facilitated the removal of Palestinians from their homes and the transfer of properties to Jewish ownership. The foundation also alleges that King incited against UNRWA, calling it a "Nazi terrorist organization" and advocating for its destruction.
King has rejected the accusations, stating that he is "proud to be a loyal emissary of the Jewish people."
