Israel said Sunday that work to strengthen its border with the Gaza Strip had entered a new phase, with construction starting on a massive new barrier along the frontier.
"Over the weekend we began building the above-ground barrier along the Gaza border," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told journalists before the weekly cabinet meeting.
The barrier, set to stand six metres (20 feet) off the ground, "will prevent terrorists from Gaza from penetrating into our territory on the ground", he said in Hebrew.
Netanyahu gave no further details but a defence ministry statement said that work on the structure began Thursday.
It is set to follow the 65-kilometre (40-mile) course of an underground barrier also under construction meant to neutralise the threat of cross-border tunnels.

Charles Diaz
there's really no way this stuff works
You would think that the good will on getting elected, all that support, and the claims there are patriots in the government would mean that Donald Trump is protected and able to do what needed to be done and say what needed to be said all this fucking around only indicates that either there isn't any major element within the government to clean up its act or Donald Trump is compromised
You can talk about q proofs, mass indictments with no evidence, all kinds of puzzle larps and say you're a patriot all day. Donald Trump is not acting in a manner commensurate with what they are saying.

people say that Donald can't really go after corruption because "people couldn't hand it" it's tiresome bullshit. If Donald Trump really went after it he would have tonnes of support on all sides, the people that kept on acting illogically would just come off as retarded or paid off
William Bennett
Not wanting to play devil advocate but didn't Israel admit that their wall is useless to stop illegal immigrants and workers and every single day thousands of Palestinians and other arabs cross it to work on the same jobs mexicans do at USA?
Afaik this wall only works to make terrorist attacks harder.
