The embassy stated on X:
Lisbon, today. Unfortunately, the rise in global anti-Semitism has not spared Portugal either. Recently, we have witnessed an increasing number of cases of anti-Semitic statements and calls for the murder and violence against Jews and Israelis in Portugal. This text was graffitied today in the center of Lisbon, near sites of Jewish heritage. We are certain that the Portuguese authorities will do everything within their power to combat and condemn this dangerous phenomenon.
