Mossad Should Cultivate Strategic Partners Among Europe’s Right-Wing Separatist Movements

Amid growing anti-Israel sentiment and actions from European leftist governments, including Spain's recognition of a Palestinian state and calls for arms embargos, an article suggests that Israel's Mossad should cultivate strategic partnerships with right-wing separatist movements in Europe. This initiative, to be led by Mossad's Tevel division through a new "Emerging Sovereign Partners Cell," aims to counter the left-leaning political trend.

"To counter this leftish groundswell, Israel should begin outreach to conservative factions among regional pro-independence groups in Europe."

The proposed strategy involves engaging with groups like Catalonia's Aliança Catalana, led by Silvia Orriols, and other movements in the Basque Country, Galicia, Scotland, and Wales. The Cell would provide expertise in statecraft, including governance, defense, intelligence, and economic systems, drawing on Israel's own national revival experience. This collaboration would offer these movements capabilities in areas such as military structure, cyber defense, and counter-jihadism, while securing new European allies for Israel to protect its interests and combat antisemitism.
