Every citizen in the United States of America is afraid due to President Trump’s decisions, be it his unprofessional tweets, the global gag rule, Muslim immigrants banning or the building of the Mexico border wall. Just last night, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu showed his support for Trump’s decision on Twitter, referring to the success of the West Bank barrier Israel built on its southern border with Palestine.

Immediately following the surprising tweet, Mexico’s government rebuked Israel and released a statement. “The Foreign Ministry expressed to the government of Israel, via its ambassador in Mexico, its profound astonishment, rejection and disappointment over Prime Minister Netanyahu’s message on Twitter about the construction of a border wall,” the Ministry announced.

Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon said on Twitter Netanyahu had been referring to his country’s “specific security experience” and that Israel was not voicing an opinion on U.S.-Mexican relations.
