As nearly 50,000 North African migrants surged into the Spanish exclave of Ceuta overnight, one group responded with mockery and glee: Israeli politicians and their Zionist supporters, who celebrated the slap in Spanish President Pedro Sanchez\u2019 face.<\/strong><\/p>\n An estimated 49,000 migrants, predominantly young Moroccan men, stormed across Morocco\u2019s border with the Spanish exclave of Ceuta between Thursday and Friday, after guards on the Moroccan side seemingly decided to open the barbed wire gates built to prevent such a surge.<\/p>\n As videos of the migrants marauding through Ceuta spread on social media, local authorities in the city begged for military intervention from Madrid. Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez refused to declare a national emergency, but sent a token force of 60 troops to the exclave.<\/p>\n Right-wing politicians across Europe condemned Sanchez\u2019 half-hearted response, with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Finnish Interior Minister Mari Rantanen, and Austrian Chancellor Christian Stocker all calling for Spain\u2019s exclusion from the EU\u2019s Schengen borderless travel zone.<\/p>\n In certain Israeli circles, however, the reaction was one of jubilation. Although Israeli politicians and influencers have spent decades lamenting the supposed \u201cIslamization\u201d<\/em> of Europe, they celebrated on Friday as tens of thousands of Muslims poured into EU territory. After Sanchez labeled Israel\u2019s war on Gaza a \u201cgenocide,\u201d<\/em> banned the transit of military goods to Israeli via its territory, and denied the US use of its military bases to strike Iran, Zionist commentators viewed the invasion of Ceuta as just punishment for Spain.<\/p>\n Israel\u2019s ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, used the crisis to call on Spain to surrender its two north African exclaves: Ceuta and Melilla.<\/p>\n \u201cSpain, which never misses an opportunity to lecture Israel, has declared a state of emergency in Ceuta following the crisis over its immigration policy,\u201d<\/em> he wrote on X, referring to the local emergency declaration in Ceuta. \u201cMaybe before it continues lecturing us, it\u2019s time it explained to the world why it still maintains colonial enclaves in Africa.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nIsrael\u2019s UN ambassador embraces decolonization<\/h2>\n
