Madrid calls Moroccan envoy over Hewawi remarks
The Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, revealed that the government summoned Morocco's ambassador in Madrid, Karima Benaïech, on August 21st, due to remarks made by the Ministers of Justice, Abdel-Latif Wehbi, and Endowments Minister, Ahmed Tohami, concerning the cities of Ceuta and Melilla. Madrid deemed these statements unacceptable. These comments, which addressed Morocco's historical and geographical rights over the two cities and referenced their histories, came at a time of heightened tensions following the migration crisis in Ceuta. Madrid reaffirmed that the two cities are part of Spanish sovereignty and European Union territory, and that it has officially expressed its diplomatic stance. Observers interpret the recall of the ambassador as a political gesture, especially given that it was not publicly announced earlier. Meanwhile, Spain continues to cooperate with Morocco on security and migration issues, while maintaining its position regarding the two cities.
