Borders Work: A Fact-Finding Trip to Israel
August 8, 2019Clare M. Lopez
The Center’s Vice President for Research and Analysis, Clare M. Lopez, traveled to Israel in late May-early June 2019 on a fact-finding trip with Tom Trento and the United West team, guided in-country by Roni Wexler and Heritage Tours. With a theme of ‘Borders and How Security is Done,’ the group of some sixty travelers visited the dividing lines along the entirety of Israel’s perimeter with Egypt, Gaza, the Golan Heights, Jordan, and Lebanon. The group saw in each location how Israel protects its people and its sovereignty from the existential threats that confront them on all sides. Sometimes it was with concrete barriers, sometimes ‘smart fencing,’ and always with the most advanced technology and capable intelligence to be found anywhere in the region.
