"We have no better ally than the United States," said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when meeting Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen Wednesday.
"I also think you [Americans] don't have a better ally than Israel," the prime minister added.
Israel Radio reported Nielsen inspected Israel's fenced-off border with Egypt Tuesday for ideas for the US border with Mexico, where President Donald Trump has pledged to build a wall.
"Border security is national security. Our Israeli partners know that better than anyone and I was fortunate today to see the incredible work they’re doing to keep their territory and citizens safe,” she said.
