Spain‘s leader says Russia and Israel fueled Ceuta migrant crisis „disinformation“

He said research by the European External Action Service (EEAS), the European Union‘s diplomatic service, indicated links with Israeli and Russian networks, but he gave no further details.

„It is evident that if Russia gets involved in spreading disinformation on this issue, or Israel also spreads disinformation on this issue, criticizing the Spanish government, it will not be because they are concerned about migration in Spain or Europe, but precisely because of the political positions we are taking — courageous ones, I believe — regarding the genocide in Gaza or Putin‘s invasion of Ukraine,“ SĂĄnchez said.

The EEAS did not immediately respond to a CBS News request for comment on the research cited by SĂĄnchez.
