Mofaz: Delay in Fence Construction Increases Terror Risk
(Maarivenglish.com) Tal Yamin-Wolfovich - On Sunday Israel's High Court of Justice ordered a week's suspension of work on the security barrier near Jerusalem, in the area between Mevaseret Zion and Givat Zeev, in response to a petition filed by Palestinian villagers and Israeli residents from Mevaseret Zion. Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz said in response that any legal delay "provides the suicide bomber with more time and another chance to infiltrate." Mofaz said he had ordered round-the-clock work on the barrier and additional surveillance systems aimed at preventing infiltration into Israel.
