It continues: "The Committee supports efforts by the Secretary of State to encourage diplomatic engagement between Morocco and Spain on the future status of Ceuta and Melilla."
The language appears in the report's section on Morocco rather than in the text of H.R. 8595 itself. It is notable because it describes the Spanish-administered cities as being "located in Moroccan territory," wording that aligns with Morocco's longstanding claim to Ceuta and Melilla. However, committee reports are not legally binding and do not themselves alter sovereignty, transfer territory, or change international borders.
That distinction is central to evaluating Massie's claim that Congress "greenlighted the transfer" of Spanish territory to Morocco.
While the report does not endorse transferring sovereignty, it not only describes Ceuta and Melilla as being "located in Moroccan territory" but also expresses support for diplomatic engagement on their "future status," language critics could view as sympathetic to Morocco's position.

Diplomatic tensions flared between Spain and Israel on Friday after Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon slammed the Spanish government for its handling of the country’s migrant crisis, prompting backlash in Madrid and a public rebuke from Israel’s top diplomat in Spain.
“Spain, which never misses an opportunity to lecture Israel, has declared a state of emergency in Ceuta following the crisis over its immigration policy,” Danon wrote on X. “Maybe before it continues lecturing us, it’s time it explained to the world why it still maintains colonial enclaves in Africa.”
