The Spanish Transport Minister has reportedly hinted that Israel is involved in the ongoing migrant influx from Morocco into Spain, according to a single report. The claim, which has not been corroborated, adds a new element to the crisis that has seen over 20,000 migrants cross into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in recent days.
The Zioneer has reported extensively on the crisis, including a previous claim by a Russian source that the migrant infiltration was part of an Israeli-American operation to secure navigation in the Strait of Gibraltar. Spanish officials have also accused Morocco of directly assisting the migrant wave. The Spanish Transport Minister's hint, if confirmed, would mark the first direct accusation of Israeli involvement from a Spanish government official.
No further details or evidence have been provided. The Zioneer will continue to track developments.
