Spain blames Russia, Israel for migrant crisis disinformation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has indicated that Russia and Israel were involved in spreading disinformation regarding Spain's migration policy, which led to a large influx of migrants into Ceuta. This surge, which occurred between July 30-31, saw over 72,000 migrants cross from Morocco into the Spanish territory, resulting in numerous deaths. While opposition parties and some groups accused Morocco of complicity, Sánchez explicitly denied any involvement from Moroccan authorities, attributing the disinformation to Russian and Israeli networks collaborating with far-right groups, primarily spread through social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
