Meanwhile, in Hungary, tensions continue to rise as authorities have blocked people from boarding trains and attempted to herd them into holding camps, forcing thousands to set off by foot on the side of the highway. On Monday, Hungary’s defense minister resigned. He had been one of the key officials responsible for the ongoing construction of a massive fence on Hungary’s border with Serbia. In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also has rejected calls to take in more Syrian refugees, instead saying it is continuing plans to construct a fence along its border with Jordan.
