Federal officials say they're ready to begin building a new "virtual fence" along the U.S.-Mexico border. The first towers holding sensors, cameras and communications gear to detect drug smugglers and illegal immigrants will be built along 53 miles of Arizona's border with Mexico.

We all know that this Green Line is recognised in several international agreements (including some signed by Israeli governments) and UN resolutions as the future border between Israel and Palestine.
