A Tube driver who led a chant of “free, free Palestine” on a London Underground train on Saturday has been suspended pending further investigation into the incident, Transport for London said.
Footage posted online by a journalist appeared to show the chant being led over the train’s speaker system. “A driver has now been identified and suspended whilst we continue to fully investigate the incident in line with our policies and procedures.” The Israeli Embassy said: “It is deeply troubling to see such intolerance on London’s Tubes … public transport should be a place of safety and inclusivity for all.”
