Sánchez: Russia and Israel exploited Ceuta crisis for disinformation
According to Google News PL, Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez stated that the migration crisis in Ceuta was not caused by Morocco, but that Russia and Israel exploited this situation to spread disinformation. Israel's Foreign Minister responded that Sánchez was "brazenly lying" about Israel and Ceuta.
The crisis in the Spanish enclave in North Africa was also accompanied by a sharp increase in the number of sexual assaults. The prosecution office released hard data, pointing to a record number of such incidents in Ceuta.
Sánchez maintained that Morocco did not bear direct responsibility for the escalation of the crisis, which met with a sharp reaction from Jerusalem. Israel's Foreign Minister accused the Spanish Prime Minister of deliberately misleading public opinion regarding the role of both states.
Reports of foreign entities exploiting the situation for information operations emerged against a backdrop of border tensions that have long destabilised Ceuta. The scale of sexual assaults recorded by the prosecution office constitutes an additional dimension of the crisis, extending beyond the migration context alone.
