Transport for London was closed after a series of fake-anti-Israeli advertisements on a tube truck were plastered.
The common posters claim that they are advertisements from Monday.com, work management platform with head office in Tel Aviv, Israel.
The advertisement is in the same style as the real advertisements from Monday.com and states: 'Monday.com – for whatever you drive. Even … an apartheid status. '
Subsequently, the 'genocide', 'ethnic cleansing' and 'cultural erases' mentions as projects that are run by different users, together with their status of 'attention', 'on the right track' and 'in risk'.
The anti-Israeli advertisements were reported to British lawyers for Israel (Uklfi) by a Jewish mother who saw it on a Victoria Line tube.
She said they 'felt physically ill' and TFL struck for dealing with the situation, claiming 'that they should not have been there in the first place. ”
Caroline Turner, director of UKLFI, contacted TFL on 22 February with the establishment of the ads to be removed. Then she received confirmation three days later that the advertisements were removed.
It comes in the midst of almost record levels of anti -Semitic attacks on British Jews throughout the country, with 3,528 anti -Semitic incidents that took place in the UK in 2024.

The woman who reported the advertisements told Caroline that seeing support for Hamas 'hatred of Jews on a London train felt physically sick'.
'It should not require me to remove it. They should not have been there in the first place, “she added.
Caroline said that TFL had written to Uklfi with the text: 'Rest assured, these ads, were not approved or punished by TFL.
“Our employees and contractors are currently working in the network, to have this flyposting removed immediately.”
Caroline told MailOnline that she believes that criminal prosecution against the perpetrators should be established if they are ever found.
She said: 'They could be accused of an infringement of the city and the Planning Act, section 224 (3), because it is a criminal offense to display advertisements on a moving vehicle without the owner's permission.
“I hope TFL will find the perpetrators.”
Monday.com was also informed of the fake advertisements on social media – before they were removed by TFL – and emphasized that the company was “in no way connected to this law.”

They wrote on X: 'It is important for us to clarify that what you saw is a distortion of our campaign and is in no way connected to this law on Monday.
'Monday does not support this message in any way and we actively work with the suppliers to remove the incorrect signage.
“If you have more information about the transport number or the pipe line, this would really help us to speed up the process.”
A Uklfi spokesperson said: “These fake anti-Israeli advertisements seem to be an eternal problem on the London Transport system, on tubes or at bus stops.
'They must be removed as quickly as possible. TFL must also try harder to prevent them from being set up in the first place. '
A spokesperson for the campaign against anti -Semitism added: 'It is precisely that TFL has apologized and is working on removing these horrible' advertisements'.
'Monday.com is a technology company, not a political player.
'An overwhelming majority of British Jews – 92% – believes that claims that Israel is an apartheid is the risk of anti -Semitism inflaming, according to our poll.
Anti -Semitism remained 'considerably higher than it was prior to the terror attack of Hamas', concluded the report (depicted: Orthodox Jewish men passing police officers while they patroling by Stamford Hill in October 2023)
'When posters such as these are shown on our public transport, this ensures that Jews feel unwelcome. Transport networks must remain vigilant and quickly remove any unauthorized displays. '
A TFL spokesperson said: 'This poster was not authorized by TFL Or our advertising partners and we have instructed our teams and contractors to remove a that are found on our network. '
Figures from last year were shown there 3,528 anti -Semitic incidents in the UK in 2024 were the second highest total ever registered.
The year showed a decrease of 18 percent at the levels that was seen in 2023, which witnessed an orgy of common anti -Semitism in the months after Hamas's attacks on October 7.
But charity The Community Security Trust (CST), which put together the figures, said it showed the 'lasting impact' of the conflict in the middle East.
