A Spanish military expert has issued a stark warning to Morocco, stating that the kingdom is βplaying with fireβ in its ongoing disputes with Spain. The expert, whose name has not been widely reported, made the remarks during a conference in Rabat, according to regional media.
The warning comes amid heightened tensions over territorial waters and migration issues. In recent months, Spain and Morocco have clashed over the movement of migrants near the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla, as well as over fishing rights in waters off the Sahara coast.
The expert emphasized that Morocco's assertive posture could backfire, potentially straining its relations with the European Union and undermining its own economic interests. He called for dialogue and mutual respect to resolve differences.
Neither the Moroccan nor the Spanish government has officially commented on the remarks. However, diplomatic sources suggest that behind-the-scenes talks are ongoing to de-escalate the situation.
