Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s remarks about Israeli involvement in the mass migration crisis involving Ceuta and Melilla have reopened a wider debate over the link between border tensions and the deepening political rift between Madrid and “Tel Aviv.”

Morocco continues to secure backing from major powers for its autonomy plan to resolve the Western Sahara conflict—a cornerstone of its foreign policy—with the UK becoming the latest to join the U.S., Spain, and France in endorsing the proposal.

If the Spanish right wing comes to power, it wouldn't significantly affect the "strategic interests" that bind Madrid and Rabat since those interests aren't heavily influenced by changes in the ruling party.
