President Reuven Rivlin said during a meeting with the heads of Spain's Jewish communities that "According to reports on anti-Semitism provided to the Spanish minister of the interior, there has been a hundreds-percent spike in anti-Semitic incidents in Spain."
"We mustn't give in to anti-Semitism, we have to fight it. I'm pleased the Spanish government is taking legislative and enforcement steps to counteract this repulsive phenomenon," he added.
