Netanyahu announced his plan during a tour of a newly-completed security fence along the border with Jordan near the Red Sea port of Eilat in southern Israel. The project was described by the Israeli PM as a "multi-year plan to surround Israel with security fences to protect ourselves in the current and projected Middle East," which will cost billions of shekels, The Times of Israel reports.
Comment: "projected Middle East" and what would that be exactly?
"In our neighborhood, we need to protect ourselves from predators," Netanyahu said. "At the end of the day, in the State of Israel, as I see it, there will be a fence like this one surrounding its entirety...We will surround the entire State of Israel with a fence, a barrier."
Comment: Interesting that Netanyahu wants this total-surround fence defense, most likely paid for with US tax dollars. Looks reminiscent of a WWII containment camp. A purposeful constant reminder for Israelis? for everyone else? Not too subtle.
