Answer:

Thanks

Step-by-step explanation:

Perejil Island is an uninhabited islet located in the Strait of Gibraltar. There is no other country claiming the island, but its control has been the subject of a historic dispute between Spain and Morocco. On July 17, 2002, a group of Moroccan soldiers occupied the island, but were removed the following day by a Spanish military operation. Although the island is considered by Spain to be Spanish territory, Morocco maintains that the island is part of its historical territory.
