Time: Israel Is Building an Anti-ISIS Fence Along the Border With Jordan

Pressure from Israeli citizens spurred the government into action

Israel has taken one more step to walling itself off from its neighbors.

The border with Jordan is the last Israeli frontier that is totally open to a neighboring country; the borders with Egypt, Syria and Lebanon are all fenced off.

But the nation’s Security Cabinet adopted a proposal last month to build an approximately 18-mile-long fence along Israel’s eastern border with Jordan.

A walled off Israel. Sounds like a solution for something.

tip: Israel built wall along West Bank. Since, no a single suicide bomber got into Israel. Israel has decent relations with Jordan but worries about growing threat of ISIS.
Fortunately, we do not have such problems in the U.S. and so we do not need a wall between our country and Mexico
