West Jerusalem's deputy mayor, Arieh King, unleashed a barrage of Nazi-inspired insults towards UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband following the latter's meeting with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. King, who is a British-Israeli citizen with parents who survived Nazi persecution, branded Miliband a "kapo" and dubbed Mamdani "the Nazi from NYC."
The deputy mayor's remarks came after Miliband tweeted a photo of himself with Mamdani, commenting that "progressive parties are so much stronger when we learn from and stand with each other - from the cost of living to climate action to peace in Israel and Palestine." Canada had recently revoked King's travel authorization, barring him from visiting Canada after Palestinian rights groups demanded his exclusion due to his involvement in expanding Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem.
A prominent anti-Palestinian settler, King resides in the Ma'ale HaZeitim settlement enclave within the Palestinian neighbourhood of Ras al-Amud in occupied East Jerusalem.
