The Invasion of Ceuta: The European Dream, Moroccan Revenge, and Israel's Connection

Over the weekend, tens of thousands of young people swam across the border between Morocco and the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. Journalist Henrique Zimmermann explained on 103FM that Ceuta and Melilla have fences, and youths have about 2.5 minutes to cross before police turn them back. Those who reach the refugee center are saved and can move on to Europe. The article mentions Pedro Sánchez as leading an anti-Israel line.

Over the past weekend, tens of thousands of young people swam across the border between Morocco and the Spanish North African territory of Ceuta. International journalist Henrique Zimmermann explained in an interview with 103FM why this is happening and who benefits from the crisis. According to him, Ceuta and Melilla have belonged to Spain for over 400 years, and young people try to jump over the fences within two and a half minutes, before the Spanish police arrive. If they manage to reach the refugee center in time, they will not be returned to Morocco and can move to Europe within a few months. The article also mentions Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who leads an anti-Israel line and is moving closer to Algeria, but it does not elaborate on the Israeli connection.
