Spanish PM Attributes Ceuta Migrant Surge to Disinformation by Russia and Israel
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez accused Russia and Israel of spreading disinformation that contributed to the recent surge of over 72,000 migrants crossing into Ceuta from Morocco. He denied any Moroccan involvement despite opposition claims. The disinformation, spread via social media, reportedly encouraged migrants by falsely suggesting they could remain in Spain. Sanchez linked the misinformation to dissatisfaction with Spain's stance on conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. At least 100 migrants died during the crossing, and thousands remain in Ceuta.
