Cairo, Egypt - The United States has announced that it is planning to help Egypt build a border fence along the Gaza-Egypt border. Washington transferred $23 million worth of special aid to the North African nation as part of its assistance in locating smuggling tunnels.
Over the past few months, smuggling between Gaza and Egypt has garnered more attention in light of the Israeli economic blockade on the small Mediterranean strip of land. Israel is calling on Egypt to improve its crackdown on Palestinian smuggling, which the Jewish state says allows weapons to enter Gaza that are then used against southern Israel.
The planned fence between Egypt and Gaza will employ technology directed at preventing the fence from being damaged. This is in response to Palestinian militants who blew a hole in the current wall between the two nations that allowed hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to flock into Egypt late January and early February.
The American Army Corps of Engineers plans to send teams to Egypt to help push forward the border fence plans. No timetable has been given yet as to when the wall will be constructed
While building the wall, the Americans also hope to help Egyptian security forces locate and destroy smuggling tunnels into Gaza Israel has welcomed the move, saying that American participation will help end the movement of weapons into Gaza.

Why is it the Palestinians need to be fenced in by their fellow Arab Muslims?
Oh, I get it ... we’ve been waiting for Egypt to help US build OUR fence ... sometimes I’m just a little slow.
Can you believe this sh!t?

“Oh, I get it ... we’ve been waiting for Egypt to help US build OUR fence”
Don’t worry, here in the USA the streets are paved with gold.
It’s enough to make a legal Arizona citizen go insane.
I dont think so...we just blew up one of their ships in the Gulf
Is this a slap in the face, or what?
How about finishing one here first!!!!!!!
God I’m getting so pissed off. BUILD OUR FENCE!
En casa de herrero, cuchillo de palo.
It’ll have to have a pretty deep footer to prevent tunnels.
marking so I can call my senator tomorrow AM.
Yet our State Dept criticizes Israel for building a fence to protect itself from those very same Palestinians. This borders (no pun intended) on the absurd.
We know they don't work to keep people out because we have been told so by the president, John McCain, Miss Lindsey Graham and every other pro-illegal politician in DC.
And now we know that is true because our government just spent $20 million dollars to prove that the company that built Air Force One and builds our Arrow anti-ballistic missile system can't build a border fence that works.
Or is that the way it was designed?
We have a lot of experience building border fences.
... in other countries. Somehow, fences can't be built here.
