Israel denies Sánchez's accusations of disinformation in the Ceuta crisis

The Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gideon Saar, described as a lie the accusation made this morning by the President of the Government during a radio interview in which he pointed out Israel as one of the countries involved in the dissemination of the erroneous information that gave rise to the Ceuta crisis.

Sánchez has based his information on a report from the European External Action Service that indicated that networks and Israelis had been part of the viralization of erroneous or fraudulent information that encouraged what happened at the El Tarajal border on July 31. This report also points to Russia as another possible participant.

In fact, the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, already pointed out in a speech on Friday in the Congressional commission the intervention of members of the "reactionary international" and in this sense he pointed directly to Russia. Albares based his complaint on reports from the Ukrainian army.

However, Minister Albares was not as direct as Pedro Sánchez was this morning in the interview given to the Ser channel, the first in a month.

Following what Sánchez said, Israel accused the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, of telling a "blatant lie." In his interview on the Cadena Ser radio station, Saar pointed out, Sánchez "has lied again, surprisingly accusing Israel of spreading misleading information about the events in Ceuta. This is a blatant lie," Foreign Minister Gideon Saar wrote in X.

Also a Russian media outlet, RCB cited by Reuters, points out that the Kremlin has rejected the accusations made by the Spanish Government for its alleged relationship with this crisis.
