Spain gives Italy two days to lift border checks on Spanish travellers after Ceuta migrant rush

The Spanish government has given Italy two days to lift border checks on Spanish travellers. According to Euronews, Spain believes Italy's checks breach the spirit of the Schengen agreement. If Italy does not lift the checks by Sunday, Spain will take "proportionate measures".

A recent border crisis occurred in the Spanish city of Ceuta, where tens of thousands of Moroccan nationals crossed into Spanish territory. This event prompted Madrid to deploy additional security forces.

The issue is separate from the fence between Melilla and Morocco, which serves as both a security barrier and a boundary for Jewish religious life, as reported by the Jerusalem Post.
