> Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said there were signs that Russia and Israel had spread disinformation about Spain’s migration policy, triggering last month’s rush of migrants into Ceuta. He said there was no evidence of Moroccan involvement. Both Israel and Russia denied taking part. More than 72,000 migrants crossed irregularly from Morocco into the Spanish territory between July 30 and 31.
