Dr. Edy Cohen, a Middle East expert, stated that accusations circulating in the Arab world, which blame Israel for the ongoing border crisis in Spain's Ceuta enclave, constitute a modern antisemitic libel. Cohen compared the narrative to historical antisemitic claims, noting that this is an updated version of old tropes. The crisis in Ceuta has seen a large influx of migrants, leading to border closures by Italy and France and drawing international attention. Cohen's remarks highlight a recurring pattern of blaming Israel for unrelated events in the region.
