Viewing cable 08LISBON2726, PORTUGAL URGED TO OPPOSE UNGA RESOLUTIONS WITH

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #08LISBON2726.

SUBJECT: PORTUGAL URGED TO OPPOSE UNGA RESOLUTIONS WITH 
ANTI-ISRAEL BIAS 
 
REF: SECSTATE 123081 
 
Pol-Econ officer delivered reftel message to Portuguese MFA 
Deputy Director for International Affairs Sara Martins and 
urged Portugal to oppose UNGA resolutions with an anti-Israel 
bias.  Since Portugal's positions on UN issues are closely 
coordinated with other EU member states, the GOP will 
probably follow EU consensus on whether to oppose or abstain 
on future votes on anti-Israel measures.  Martins did not 
provide further substantive comments.
