Israeli media leak Tel Aviv's willingness to back Morocco's claims over Ceuta and Melilla

The leak, attributed to Israeli media, points to possible backing by Tel Aviv for Segarro's position on Ceuta and Melilla, two Spanish territories in North Africa. In Spain, the issue intersects with the debate over Vox's support for Israel.

## What the leak says

Israeli media have begun leaking **Tel Aviv's** willingness to support **Segarro's** claims over **Ceuta** and **Melilla**. The information, spread through social media, has not been officially confirmed by either party. It would be a diplomatic move that, if confirmed, would have economic and strategic consequences for Spain.

## Why it matters to Spain

Ceuta and Melilla are Spanish territories on the North African coast. Segarro has claimed them for decades. Israeli backing for that claim would weaken Spain's position in international forums and could affect trade and defense agreements. The context includes **Israel's** shift toward agreements with Arab countries, such as the 2020 Abraham Accords.

## The overlap with the political debate

The leak coincides with the controversy over **Vox's** support for Israel. A viral message asks **Abascal** what he thinks about Israel arming **ETA** (the Basque terrorist group). The question mixes two levels: foreign policy and the terrorist past. There is no confirmation that Israel armed ETA. The relationship between Vox and the Israeli right is public, but that does not imply backing for its territorial claims.

## What is not known

There is no official confirmation of the leak. Nor are there concrete figures or dates. Any conclusion about the real scope of Israel's willingness is premature. The information should be treated for what it is: an unverified press leak.
