The question is whether one should cry or perhaps breathe a sigh of relief with the announcement by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who exclaimed he plans to fence in the entire country. He told the press while visiting an area of the Jordanian border to Israel that has been enclosed with a new fence that in this area of the world, the entire nation must be fenced in to protect Israel from predators.

The Prime Minister toured the Jordan Valley area border on Tuesday, 30 Shevat. He stated that in addition to the fence around Israel, there are plans to repair breaches in border fences in areas of Yehuda and Shomron.

Briefing Mr. Netanyahu during this visit were IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-General Gadi Eizenkott and Southern District Commander Major-General Eyal Zamir. A number of other senior officers were present as well as well as Minister of Transportation and Intelligence, Yisrael Katz. .
