King was previously accused of lying by the family of two American hostages who he claimed he helped free from Hamas and said he was kicked off Instagram for pro-Palestine posts

'What's clear is Meta, Facebook and Instagram have decided to stand in the way of those of us that are fighting for the human rights and dignity of Palestinians. I wont stand for it, I'm going to keep fighting everywhere I can,' he said when his Instagram account was taken down.

A spokesperson for Meta told DailyMail.com that King's Instagram account was suspended because 'due to multiple instances of praise for designated entities in violation of our policies.'
