> Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, citing European External Action Service research, accused Russia and Israel of spreading and amplifying disinformation during last month’s mass migrant influx into Ceuta. He also said trafficking groups circulated a false claim that people entering by swimming could not be deported to Morocco, and pledged an additional €168m in aid for the enclave.
