| | Religioscope - > Jews leaving Ceuta and Melilla |
| | Ceuta and slightly smaller Melilla are unlike any other part of Spain, where no Jews lived — at least not openly — until religious freedom was reinstated in the 19th century. | | | That’s down from their peak in the late 1960s, when there were about 600 Jews in Ceuta and 1,000 in Melilla. | | | However, many Jews who today live in Ceuta and Melilla fled there from Morocco after the 1967 Six-Day War, when Morocco was swept up in the Arab world’s outrage over Israel’s victory. |

| | Ceuta, Spain |
| | As a result of the union of Spain and Portugal in 1580 under Philip II Ceuta became Spanish, and since then it has remained continuously in Spanish hands, in spite of repeated Arab attacks, including a 27 year siege (1674-1701) by the troops of Moulay Ismail; the last attack, also unsuccessful, was in 1860. | | | Thereafter, until 1415, Ceuta belonged to various Arab kingdoms in Morocco and mainland Spain. | | | Visitors should beware of patronizing the drug-dealers, since there are severe penalties, both in Spain and Morocco, for the possession of hashish. |

| | Spain Gibraltar, Ceuta, and Melilla |
| | There were protests on the part of the Muslim communities in both enclaves over the passage, in July 1985, of an aliens law, which required all foreigners in Spain to register with the authorities or be expelled. | | | In addition, a few leaders in both the socialist and the communist parties expressed sympathy for Morocco's claim, contributing to a growing fear of abandonment on the part of the enclaves' inhabitants. | | | In much the same way that Spain laid claim to Gibraltar as part of its territory, Morocco maintained that the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla were integral parts of Morocco's sovereign territory. |

| | Ceuta and Melilla on the north African coast came under Spanish control around 500 years ago, but Morocco claims sovereignty over them. | | | The aim of presenting a joint Muslim slate in Ceuta is to increase Muslims' weight in local political institutions - a strategy that worries the PP as well as the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE). | | | However the Islamic parties are also mulling running with the United Left (IU), a party which includes the Spanish Communists and like the FC does not currently have any councillors in Ceuta. |

| | The fence at Ceuta has been raised fairly recently when immigration from Subsaharan Africa and Morocco begun to represent a serious problem for the local authorities. | | | Almost all of those immigrants emigrated at that point, along with the overwhelming majority of Moroccan Jews, as a consequence (perhaps intended) of the independence settlement. | | | The very short article is a deliberate comparison between the Israeli separation fence/wall, noted for the almost univeral criticism it receives including from the EU, and a wall of the EU's own: |

| | In addition, Morocco lays claim to Ceuta and Melilla, which Spain considers its own territory because the two cities have been under its sovereignty since 1497 and 1580, respectively, prior to the existence of the kingdom of Morocco. | | | To Spain's demands that Morocco take measures to prevent migrants from gathering in makeshift camps near the borders of Melilla and Ceuta, the North African country has responded that it lacks the security forces necessary to do the job, and that what is needed is a "modern Marshall Plan" for Morocco. | | | Spain's announcement that it plans to build a third fence to separate its enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla from Morocco, using the most advanced technology aimed at keeping out undocumented immigrants, has drawn loud criticism while giving rise to many questions. |
