Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has tweeted his support for President Donald Trump\u2019s plan to build a wall along the US border with Mexico, hailing the proposal a \u2018great idea\u2019.<\/p>\n
The tweet comes in the wake of Trump signing several executive orders on immigration, including plans to erect a wall along the southern border and severely restricting travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries.<\/p>\n
“President Trump is right. I built a wall along Israel’s southern border. It stopped all illegal immigration,\u201d<\/em> Netanyahu said.<\/p>\n President Trump is right.
