Travelodge apologises to a Jewish guest after a “Free Palestine” message appears on a TV in his hotel room. The BBC reports the guest, described as an Orthodox Jew, encounters the message during his stay at a Travelodge hotel in north London. The hotel says the incident leaves the guest “really, really uncomfortable.” The company’s chief executive states that an investigation is under way. The London Evening Standard reports Travelodge also contacts the Metropolitan Police, indicating the matter may be treated as a security or misuse concern. The Jerusalem Post says Travelodge is close to concluding a “robust internal investigation,” but has not been able to determine how the message was displayed on the television system. Across the reports, Travelodge frames the response as an apology alongside inquiries into the origin and mechanism of the message, while authorities are informed. No sources provide confirmed details on who sent the message or how it was delivered beyond saying the company cannot yet identify the source.
