While the merits of building a fence along the USA's southern border are debated in Congress, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says his nation's new border fence is working very well, thank you.
In comments spoken Sunday and reported in the Times of Israel, Netanyahu claimed Israel's new security fence along the Israel-Egypt border has not only stemmed the tide of illegal immigration to Israel, but has also protected the Jewish state from terrorists operating in the Sinai Peninsula.
Every day that passes "underscores how correct and how important the decision was to build the fence in the south," the prime minister said. "You must remember that this fence is equipped with very advanced means … to protect the State of Israel against the double threat of illegal migration and terrorism from Sinai."
Netanyahu, speaking publicly ahead of his weekly cabinet meeting, argued the fence has blocked 99 percent of African migrants from reaching Israel.
