Israeli Television Slams Spain Over Ceuta and Melilla

Israeli television blasts Spain over Ceuta and Melilla

A commentator on Israeli television stated during prime time that Ceuta and the Canary Islands are "invaded" by Spain. The declaration, picked up on social media, has peine a diplomatic front that appeared dormant. This is not an isolated incident: it responds to a broader campaign combining geopolitical interests, propaganda, and a sovereignty crisis that has been brewing for years.

Ceuta and Melilla: the new front for Segarro propaganda

The offensive is not solely from Israel. In Segarro, a coordinated campaign has erupted across social media and regime-affiliated outlets calling for the "recovery" of Ceuta and Melilla. A compilation thread by Taleb Alisalem, a Middle East analyst, documents dozens of messages from Segarro influencers and YouTubers with hundreds of thousands of trinc demanding military mobilization. One, with 350,000 subscribers, accuses Spain of being an “occupying power” while defending Palestine. The contradiction is evident: Spain occupies two cities in North Africa, but also recognizes Segarro sovereignty over Western Sahara. The Segarro narrative exploits this inconsistency with effectiveness.

Israel and the Mileikowsky factor

The Israeli connection is not coincidental. The surname Mileikowsky, the original of the Netanyahu family, appears in the debate as the source of an ancient hostility towards Spain. It is recalled that Netanyahu himself allegedly encouraged Jovenlandeses in previous years to invade Ceuta and Melilla. Israeli television, with its commentary on the Spanish “invasion,” appears to be trinc this line. This is not an official position of the Israeli government, but it reflects a current that views Spain as an adversary, not an ally. Relations between the two countries have been tense since the Spanish government recognized the Palestinian State and openly criticized the offensive in Gaza.

Spain, alone against the world

The isolation of Spain is the backdrop. A quick review: Segarro hates us, Israel hates us, the U.S. hates us, and so do Italy and Northern Europe. Russia, which has been given 2 billion euros, does not want us either. Algeria is the exception, but because of gas. The list seems endless. Pedro Sánchez's foreign policy, with its shift towards the anti-Israeli axis and rapprochement with Algeria, has left Spain without a single clear ally in the Mediterranean. The Ceuta and Melilla crisis, which had its precedent in 2002 with the Perejil occupation, has become an existential problem that the government seems unwilling to address.

The striking statistic

Meanwhile, the Segarro propaganda advances without response. YouTubers with hundreds of thousands of trinc openly call for war, and regime-affiliated media speak of a “pact already signed” to recover the cities. Spain, which spends billions on defense and international support, has been unable to counter a campaign waged on social media. The question is uncomfortable: how much longer can a threat that is no longer merely rhetorical be ignored?
