The defense establishment is pushing for the expedited completion of<br />the new Israel- Egypt border fence to be completed in three weeks<br />time. The area, which stretches between Kerem Shalom and Kadesh<br />Barnea, has seen the expedited construction of some 20km of fences in<br />the span of the last 14 days. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said<br />that the fence will "help to stem the flood of infiltrators." The<br />project is estimated at NIS 1.5 billion.
