Melbourne University in Australia has condemned a piece of graffiti reading "death to Herzog" after it was found on its campus.
The slogan, painted onto the side of a university building, read: "Death to Herzog + Israel + Oz."
In response, the Australasian Union of Jewish Students said it was "deeply disturbed" by the incident and urged the university to investigate.
"Calls for violence against any individual or nation are not ‘legitimate criticism’ of government policy," the group said.
"They cross a clear moral and legal line and have no place on a university campus."
A university spokesperson said: "Racism, hatred and violence have no place in our society or our nation.
"We became aware of the offensive graffiti on the edge of our Parkville campus this morning and immediately sent cleaners who swiftly removed it."
The Israeli president, to whom the graffiti refers, is wrapping up a state visit to Australia this week, during which he visited the scene of December's Bondi terror attack to lay a wreath in memory of the 15 people killed by Islamic State-linked gunmen.
Speaking at the memorial event, he said: “The bonds between good people of all faiths and all nations will continue to hold strong in the face of terror, violence and hatred. We shall overcome this evil together.”
"These vile terrorists specifically and deliberately targeted our dear sisters and brothers, Australian Jews,” he went on.
"Yet, this was also an attack on all Australians. They attacked the values that our democracies treasure.
"This is how terror operates all around the world, and, sadly, Israel has faced this deadly threat for many decades.”
Herzog also addressed the issue of rising antisemitism in Australia, which has seen several high-profile attacks against the Jewish community in recent year, including a spate of arson attack linked by Australian intelligence to Iran.
"Antisemitism here in Australia is not a Jewish problem — it is an Australian problem and a global problem,” he added.
"Over the generations, one thing has become clear: hatred that starts with the Jews, never ends with the Jews.
"This is why the current rise in antisemitism around the world is a global emergency – and we must all act to fight against it.”
However, his trip has been marred by anti-Israel protests in major Australian cities, some of which have turned violent.
On Monday, at least 15 activists were arrested after allegedly brawling with police, as others called on the Australian prime minister, Anthony Albanese, to order Herzog’s arrest and extradition to the International Criminal Court (ICC) over Israel’s conduct during the Gaza War.
The ICC has not issued a warrant for Herzog’s arrest nor brought any charges against him.
And, last week, Australian police arrested a 19-year-old man, who now faces up to 10 years in prison, on suspicion of making death threats against the president.
