Israel-based Magal Security Systems Ltd. seeks this week to persuade officials in Washington to grant it a contract to take part in the construction of the wall the new US administration is planning to build on the American-Mexican borders.
According to Bloomberg News Magal’s US-based Senstar branch will present its FiberPatrol product at a conference on border security which will be held on Tuesday in Alexandria Virginia.
Magal company built a security fence on the borders of the Gaza Strip late last summer and provided it with modern technology including cameras motion sensors and satellite surveillance. The company was also a major contractor of Israel’s separation wall in the West Bank.
Magal Chief Executive Officer Saar Koursh said that officials from the US Department of Homeland Security and other authorities will participate in Alexandria conference which is organized by military-industrial companies.
Magal shares jumped 5.6% last Friday a day after the new US president Donald Trump stated that building a border wall will completely stop border breaches.
Benjamin Netanyahu the Prime Minister of Israel expressed support last Saturday for Magal and Trump plans and said on Twitter “President Trump is right. I built a wall along Israel’s (the 1948 occupied Palestine) southern border. It stopped all illegal immigration.”
