Amir Baram, the director-general of Israel’s Defense Ministry, said that the project is a "central component" of its new strategy.
Construction work on Israel’s eastern security barrier along the border with Jordan has begun, the Israeli Ministry of Defense announced on Monday. The initial stage will focus on the Beit She’an, Jezreel and Jordan Valleys, constructing the first two sections of the new barrier that will span roughly 50 miles, the ministry said. Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a statement, “The new barrier will strengthen the communities along the border, significantly reduce weapons smuggling to terrorists in Judea and Samaria, and deal a heavy blow to Iran and its proxies’ efforts to establish an eastern front against the State of Israel.”
He went on to say that he instructed establishing outposts manned by the Nahal Infantry Brigade, which will form a “strategic component of our national security.” According to the Defense Ministry, establishing strategic control along Israel’s eastern border is a “central component” of the ministry’s strategy, advanced by its director-general, Maj. Gen. (res.) Amir Baram.
...Baram was quoted as saying that the eastern border is Israel’s longest, stretching about 310 miles, and that defending it is a “complex mission” that begins with a physical barrier and reorganizing IDF forces—“but does not end there.” He remarked that the strategy is to form a “complete ecosystem of settlement, employment, transportation, water, agriculture, health, and more” along the eastern border. (Ed note: Why is this artice important? For all of us expecting the prophecy of Ezekiel 38/39 to soon appear, we must remember Ezekiel 38:11. Is Israel now living without "walls, bars, or gates"?)
