A photo montage which superimposed a Nazi swastika over Pope Benedict has appeared on a website run by supporters of Israel's leading political party.
The image was later removed from the Yalla Kadima website, apparently on the orders of party leader, Tzipi Livni.
The incident comes amid a row with the Vatican over Israeli claims that the late Pope Pius XII did not do enough to prevent the Jewish holocaust.
Ms Livni is currently trying to form a government and become prime minister.
"Tzipi Livni strongly condemns this and we are working to remove this shameful picture. We strongly oppose this. It doesn't represent Kadima," spokeman Amir Goldstein said shortly before the photo was changed.
