Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez accused Israel on Monday of orchestrating a migration crisis involving Moroccan migrants, Shehab Wire reported. Sánchez connected the surge to coordinated attacks by European right-wing political parties against Madrid, saying the pressure campaign stemmed directly from Spain's public condemnation of Israel's actions in Gaza, which he characterized as genocide.
The prime minister did not specify the mechanisms by which Israel allegedly engineered the migrant flows or furnish documentation to support the claim linking the two separate crises. His statement came as Spain faces mounting political backlash from conservative European movements over its foreign policy stance toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
