The Spanish newspaper El Mundo reports that Chinese intelligence and academic circles are assessing that Israel's Mossad, in coordination with Morocco, orchestrated the recent mass migration wave to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta as a hybrid warfare measure against Spain over its policies on Gaza. The report cites no public evidence and notes that Chinese state media have not officially adopted the assessment. The Israeli government and Mossad have not commented.
The Spanish newspaper El Mundo reported early Friday that Chinese intelligence and academic circles are assessing that Israel's Mossad, in coordination with Morocco, orchestrated the mass migration wave to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta as a form of hybrid warfare against Spain. The assessment, attributed to unnamed Chinese intelligence sources, suggests the move was intended to pressure Spain over its criticism of the Gaza war and its recognition of a Palestinian state. The publication notes that Chinese state media have not officially adopted the assessment, and no public evidence was provided. The Israeli government and Mossad have not commented. The report adds a new dimension to the Ceuta migrant crisis, which The Zioneer has previously reported on, including Spanish assessments that Moroccan border guards facilitated the influx, the subsequent diplomatic fallout with EU partners, and a death toll exceeding 50 migrants.
