Spain's Ceuta Migrant Crisis Shakes European Politics

An estimated 60,000 migrants stormed Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta, triggering a political firestorm across Europe over migration policy and border security. Spain has since pushed nearly all of them back, but the episode has exposed deep divisions within the EU and strained already-frosty Spain-Israel relations. Social media amplified the crisis far beyond Ceuta's borders, turning a local emergency into a continent-wide political flashpoint.
