Hungary & Bulgaria Consider Buying Israeli Fences to Block Borders

HeadlineSep 04, 2015

Reuters is reporting that Hungary and Bulgaria have reportedly made inquiries about buying Israeli-designed fences to reinforce their borders. The chair of the United Nations Commission of Inquiry, Paulo Pinheiro, spoke out about the refugee crisis in Syria Thursday.

Paulo Pinheiro: “Civilians are suffering the unimaginable, as the world stands witness. Without stronger efforts to bring parties to the peace table, ready to compromise, current trends suggest that the Syrian conflict, and the killing and destruction it wreaks, will carry for the foreseeable future.”
