Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday once again floated the idea of building a fence along the entire border with Jordan to prevent infiltrations into the country — an expensive undertaking that has made little progress in the past.
"We erected a fence on our southern border (with Egypt) and prevented the infiltration from there into Israel," Netanyahu posted on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. "We thereby stopped more than a million infiltrators from Africa, who would have destroyed our country.
"Now we will erect a fence on our eastern border (with Jordan) and ensure that there will be no infiltration from there either," he added. "We will protect our borders, and we will protect our country!"
