SATISH SHARMA - not just Rotigraphy.: The Morocco-Israel-U.S. Axis Against the Sovereignty of the Strait.

The Morocco-Israel-U.S. Axis Against the Sovereignty of the Strait.

A full-fledged geopolitical pincer.

The Ceuta migration crisis has transformed into a multidimensional conflict.

It's no longer just about a desperate human flow, but a high-stakes game of international politics.

Morocco is acting with the backing of powerful global allies to try to control North Africa. The complex web of interests behind this pressure on Spain's borders breaks down into 3 key points:

1. The Abraham Accords and Western Sahara.

The rapprochement between Morocco and Israel has completely reshaped the power map in the Maghreb.

The Abraham Accords paved the way for the United States and Israel to recognize Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara in exchange for Rabat's normalization of diplomatic relations with Tel Aviv.

Morocco's wariness of Spain's close and recent relationship with Algeria (its main gas supplier and historical rival) has accelerated Moroccan aggressiveness.

Bolstered by U.S. and Israeli support, Morocco has ramped up its demands for territorial integrity, directly targeting Ceuta and Melilla as "occupied territories" or colonial enclaves awaiting decolonization.

2. Israel's Revenge for Spain's Stance.

The crisis at the Ceuta border has served as the perfect stage for Tel Aviv to settle scores with Spanish diplomacy.

Gaza as the main trigger. Spain has positioned itself internationally as one of Europe's firmest leaders against Israel's military intervention in the Gaza Strip.

After the migration outbreak, high-level figures like Israel's UN ambassador, Danny Danon, fired back on social media and global forums, demanding that Spain "explain why it maintains colonies in Africa" before dispensing moral lessons.

Various experts argue that Tel Aviv and the most conservative sectors in Washington are exploiting the current vulnerability of Spain's borders as a tool for political punishment and warning.

3. Military Technological Transfer and the New Asymmetry of the Strait.

The collaboration between Rabat and Tel Aviv has gone beyond mere diplomacy to become a top-tier security agreement.

The steady supply of Israeli defense military technology to Morocco's armed forces includes advanced cyber-intelligence drones.

These surveillance systems allow Morocco to monitor every inch of the border and the Strait down to the millimeter, giving it total control over when to be an impenetrable wall or when to allow massive leaks that overwhelm the resources of the Civil Guard and National Police.

Spain's membership in NATO does not deter these maneuvers, as the North African flank remains legally unprotected under the treaty, forcing Madrid to deal with this new geopolitical bloc on a bilateral basis.
