Comments:
The sign is located in the historic KKL-JNF building in Tel Aviv, a place where the Museum of the People’s Council and its administration is located today.
The meetings of the People’s Council and the People’s Administration were held in the House of the National Fund for Israel, bodies that were established about a month before the establishment of the State of Israel, and actually constituted the first Knesset. In a vote in this place, the decision was made to establish the State of Israel immediately upon the end of the British mandate

The building was designed by architect: Benjamin Anekstein

The building was photographed on the same day Click for a larger image

Another sign was found on the other side of this sign, but despite pleas to the guard of the place, he did not agree to open the gate even for one minute, so here is the blurry photo
And it is probably written on it
[Symbol of the National Fund for Israel]
This house was built by me
Jewish National Fund
In 1937..
