Sánchez Says Intelligence Found No Israeli Role in Ceuta Coordination

Courtroom-sketch editorial illustration of Pedro Sánchez speaking and gesturing with both hands from the wooden lectern in Spain's Congress of Deputies, framed by the chamber's ornate rostrum, drawn in warm ochre and slate-blue pastel with cross-hatching on sepia newsprint.

Pedro Sánchez told Spain’s Congress that intelligence analyses found only “soft indicators of coordination” in social-media calls surrounding the July 30 influx into Ceuta. He said the assessments could not identify profiles linked to Moroccan protest movements, the Moroccan state, Russia or Israel, adding “for now.” The statement narrowed his August 31 accusation linking Israeli and Russian networks to disinformation. Sánchez said criminal groups and traffickers exploited and amplified the situation, which involved more than 70,000 arrivals. He ordered publication of the available reports.
