It works well with Gaza which is essentially walled off.
No defensive measure is perfect. Given a willingness to take enough casualies any defense can be overcome. The Wall will minimise attacks, while maximising the harm to the Islamists. .

The real difficulty is, after walling off the border with the PA, how does Israel patrol the border between Jordan and Arafatistan?
The border between Egypt and Gaza is already hard to defend.

Thanks for the info.

I confess I'm not thoroughly up on the situation -- but I remember even the Berlin Wall was inadequate against even unfunded determineds, not to mention American prison escapees...

I'm sure that we can count on the palis to insure that Jordan will wish to wall them out just as effectively as Isreal.
