Israel’s border barriers have effectively diminished terrorism and stemmed the flow of illegal immigrants and migrants entering the Jewish state, Breitbart’s Jerusalem bureau chief and senior investigative reporter Aaron Klein stated in a radio interview.
Klein delivered a Middle East report during his weekly 20-minute segment on John Batchelor’s nighttime national radio program.
Klein was discussing an article revealing that the Israeli company that built a barrier along the Jewish state’s border with the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip is seeking to expand into the U.S. market, eyeing the possibility of aiding in the construction of a barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Klein also discussed the expanding U.S. military campaign in Libya and the growing threat of the Islamic State in the Egyptian Sinai, with the terror franchise there releasing a new video earlier this week threatening Rome, Jerusalem and Jews.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, meanwhile, has led a national security campaign to surround Israel with barriers to protect it from external enemies.
In January, it was reported that in addition to its above-ground barrier with Gaza, Israel is planning to move ahead with a massive above- and underground concrete barrier along the entire border with the Hamas-controlled territory in an effort to stop Hamas terror tunnels from reaching Israeli territory.
In February, Netanyahu announced he is working to surround the entire country with fences and barriers “to defend ourselves against wild beasts” that surround the Jewish state.
“We are preparing a multi-year project to encircle Israel with a security fence, to defend ourselves in the Middle East as it is now, and as it is expected to be,” Netanyahu stated at the time.
