Arieh King, the deputy mayor of West Jerusalem, publicly attacked UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband on social media following Miliband's meeting with New York City Council member Zohran Mamdani. In his remarks, King used highly offensive terminology, labeling Miliband a 'kapo'—a term historically used to describe concentration camp prisoners forced to supervise other inmates under Nazi rule. King further referred to Mamdani as 'the Natzi from NYC,' a misspelling of 'Nazi.'

King justified his comments by suggesting that the meeting between the two officials was reminiscent of imagery found at the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial. The incident has drawn attention due to the sensitivity of the language used, particularly given that Miliband’s parents were survivors of Nazi persecution. While the report from Middle East Eye highlights the inflammatory nature of the deputy mayor's comments, it does not provide a response from Miliband or Mamdani regarding the incident. The report focuses on the verbal escalation from the municipal official toward international political figures.
