Amid a growing humanitarian crisis in Europe and the Middle East,
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday refused calls to
admit non-Jewish refugees from Syria and announced plans to build a
"security fence" to shut out people fleeing war—directly referencing
concerns that admittance would skew demographics. "Israel is a small
country, and we do not have the geographic and demographic depths [to
absorb them]," Netanyahu's office declared in an English language
statement released Sunday. "We will not allow Israel to be flooded with
illegal migrants and terrorists."
