00:00Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez accuses Russia and Israel of spreading disinformation
00:05about a migrant crisis in Spain's North African enclave of Suta last month.
00:11Citing research by the European External Action Service,
00:15Sánchez says both countries used the crisis to criticise Madrid
00:19over its position on the war in Ukraine and the conflict in Gaza.
00:26His comments follow the arrival of tens of thousands of migrants from Morocco into Suta in late July
00:33in a major migrant influx.
00:35Sánchez's accusation against Israel comes as relations between Madrid and Jerusalem
00:40have deteriorated sharply, particularly over the war in Gaza.
00:45Spain recognised a Palestinian state in 2024,
00:48while Sánchez has accused Israel of genocide in Gaza
00:52and called for the EU to suspend its free trade agreement with Israel.
00:56On Russia, Sánchez has repeatedly condemned its invasion of Ukraine
01:00as a violation of international law,
01:02while pledging continued Spanish support for Kiev.
