Spanish PM Sanchez says Israel and Russia spread disinformation on Ceuta migrant crisis

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez alleged on Monday that both Israel and Russia engaged in a coordinated disinformation campaign regarding the migrant crisis that occurred in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta last July. Sanchez stated that social networks linked to these two nations were responsible for spreading and amplifying false information during the mass entry of migrants into the territory.

The Prime Minister further characterized the activity as a smear campaign. While the reports identify the involvement of foreign actors in the narrative surrounding the border event, they do not provide specific details regarding the nature of the alleged disinformation or the evidence supporting these claims.
