No they don't, they are more northern than cypriots but more southern than a lot of sicilians regions.
There are sicilians that plot with Ashkenazim but we don't know if all Sicily is like that, and actually there are Sicilians very northward shifted.
Others even plot south of Ashkenazim towards NA.
You see it's not that simple.

Sephardim doesnt = Spanish. They are Oriental Sephardim meaning religiously they subscribe to Rabbis like the Rambam who fled to the middle east, don't let the name fool you. Spanish and Portuguese Jews call themselves such, they rarely use the word Sephardim as it has come to mean Oriental Sephardim who are of Mizrahi heritage.

No sephardic jews from the middle east came from Iberia ( they were expelled and a good part of them fled to the ottoman empire/ME ) Mizrahi jews are another group sometimes put under the sephardic label but if we have to strictly focus on native ME jews then they are a minority for sure compared to Ashkenazim and sephardim.

Always thinking that MENA nations are "close" to Europe because they controlled parts of it but never asked if they are "closer" because Europeans controlled parts of them?

Yes but as I said if we have to focus strictly on native ME jews then they are without a doubt a minority ( sephardim from NA don't count because megorachim there were more numerous than the tochavim and they mixed with them that's why it's easy to spot a moroccan jew in a moroccan crowd).
