Israel-Egypt border wall


Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has approved the construction of a wall along the border between Israel and Egypt, Israeli media reported on Tuesday.
'The only place in the world where it takes tens of meters walk to cross from the third world to the first world is Israel’s southern borders', Netanyahu was quoted as saying in the report.
According to Ma’ariv, the plans for the border wall will be ready in early summer, and there is more than one option for the nature of proposed barrier.
The Israeli Defense Ministry submitted a five billion-shekel (1.3 billion US dollar) proposal to build a wall similar to the separation wall being built around the West Bank.
Ma’ariv reports that another option, suggested by Israeli Ministry of Finance, is erection of an electronic fence at a cost of 450 million NIS.
Meanwhile, Israeli ministry of internal security suggested a mix of both suggestions.
