Israel began construction of a fence along its border with
Jordan on Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced at a weekly
cabinet meeting.
"Today, we
are starting to build a fence on our eastern border," he said Sunday.
"In the
first stage, we will build it from Timna to Eilat in order to protect the
airport being built there, and we will continue the fence up to the Golan
Heights, where we have already built a strong security fence."
"To the extent that it is possible we will encompass
Israel's borders with a security fence and barriers that will allow us to control
our borders," Netanyahu said.
"We will
not allow Israel to be flooded with illegal migrants and terrorists."
