Spain Accuses Russia and Israel of Spreading False Information on Migrant Crisis
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez stated that Russia and Israel disseminated and amplified false information related to the mass influx of migrants into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in North Africa last month. Sanchez based his accusation on research conducted by the European Union's External Action Service (EEAS).
According to Sanchez, both countries "clearly" exploited the crisis to criticize the Spanish government. He suggested this was a retaliatory measure, as both Russia and Israel were in dispute with Madrid over its stance on the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East.
The Spanish Prime Minister did not provide specific details or evidence regarding the nature of the false information or the alleged involvement of Israel and Russia in its dissemination. The EEAS report, which forms the basis of Sanchez's claims, is part of a broader EU effort to combat disinformation campaigns.
