Israel revels in Spain's migrant crisis while embarrassing ally Morocco
Israel and the US are exploiting Spain's migrant crisis in Ceuta to retaliate against Spain's criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza and its refusal to support US-Israeli attacks on Iran. Israel's UN ambassador falsely claimed Spain declared a state of emergency in Ceuta, while over 60,000 Moroccan migrants attempted to cross into the Spanish enclave, resulting in at least 70 deaths.
