Javier Bardem says Israel, far‑right profit from Spain‑Morocco Ceuta crisis

Spanish actor Javier Bardem reposted several social‑media stories about the recent surge of migrants crossing from Morocco into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. The shared posts claimed that the crisis is being used by Israel and Western far‑right groups to weaken Spain, noting the country's strong pro‑Palestinian stance.

Bardem highlighted alleged statements by Yair Netanyahu, son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, urging the “liberation” of Ceuta and Melilla and threatening to fund organisations that would act on that call. The posts also linked the migration pressure to Morocco’s political leverage, citing a 2021 border opening after the visit of Polisario leader Brahim Ghali and a recent visit by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to Algeria. Bardem’s reposts amplified these narratives without adding his own commentary.
