Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar on Sunday condemned antisemitic graffiti targeting Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum after violent protests erupted in Mexico City over the weekend.

During Saturday’s demonstrations outside the National Palace, protesters spray-painted the words “Jewish whore” on the gates of the presidential residence, according to local reports.

The slur referred to Sheinbaum, the country’s first female and Jewish president.

“Israel strongly condemns the antisemitic and sexist insults directed at the President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo,” Sa’ar posted on X.

“There is no place for that kind of attack in political discourse. All forms of antisemitism, in any context, must be unequivocally rejected.”
