Last month, Prime Minister Netanyahu ordered to erect a wall between the Armon Hanatziv and Jabel Mukaber neighborhoods of East Jerusalem. But members of the security cabinet pressured the prime minister to stop the project following their meeting on Sunday night, the source said.
"The wall erected in front of the houses of Armon Hanatziv divides Jerusalem and represents an achievement and a reward for terrorism. It also will not bring security and should be removed immediately," Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz said.
Several other high-ranking ministers also supported the words of the transportation minister, adding that the wall gives the impression of Jerusalem being divided.
Comment: One of the recent propaganda lines coming out of Western media is that Russia will get bogged down in Syria as it did in Afghanistan. While the reason Soviet Union fought in Afghanistan for nearly a decade relates to the same method of the United States using proxy forces, the situation is much different today. For one, modern-day Russia is not the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union's power was on a descending path, morale was low within the military, and the war was unsupported by the Soviet people. Not to mention the Soviet Union committed ground troops to the conflict. Alternatively, the US was at its peak as the world's super power. The reverse trend is showing to be true today.
