RUSSIA and Israel have hit back at Spanish prime minister Pedro Sanchez after he accused them of fuelling an ongoing migrant crisis in Ceuta.

GlobeSignal-AImedium certainty

Why it matters: Spain's government has publicly blamed two major powers for destabilising actions affecting its border; both have rejected the claim and demanded evidence, escalating a diplomatic dispute over crisis responsibility.
Most affected: Spanish government officials — Face public denial and counter-demands for evidence from two governments they accused.
Ceuta residents and migrants — Crisis management remains contested between parties rather than addressed cooperatively.
Likely next: Whether Spain presents evidence supporting its accusations, or whether any of the three governments clarify the migrant flow or related operations.
