Defense Minister Israel Katz announced on Monday plans to fast-track construction of a border fence along the eastern boundary with Jordan.
"We will act swiftly and decisively to prevent the West Bank from becoming another Gaza," Katz said during a visit to Central Command with Maj. Gen. Avi Blot, adding that some areas would require a "comprehensive overhaul" to reinforce security measures.
He emphasized the need to counter Iran’s "persistent and organized efforts" to establish a front against Israel in the West Bank.
