Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Friday issued a strong statement addressing the migrant crisis at the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, calling the mass entry of migrants an 'attack on national sovereignty' and pledging to use all state capabilities to defend it. The statement, reported by Israeli social media channels, comes a day after tens of thousands of migrants crossed into the enclave, overwhelming local authorities.
