Netanyahu said the barrier will be built to stop infiltration from Jordan, as israel did on its southern border with Egypt.
“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!” (ILKHA)
