Ceuta, for Sánchez the invasion has a design: Russian and Israeli networks behind fake news about migrants

The Spanish prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, has accused Russian and Israeli networks of spreading misinformation on social media to destabilize Spain and increase migrant arrivals in the North African enclave of Ceuta. During an interview with Cadena Ser, Sánchez claimed these disinformation campaigns falsely led migrants to believe they could not be repelled at the border after swimming into Ceuta. He linked this to an 'international ultra-right' movement that he says uses immigration issues to attack Spain and divide the European Union. The claims involve allegations of manipulated legal rulings being used by criminal organizations and foreign information networks.
