In an interview with El Dia on 13 February 2019, the Israeli ambassador in the Dominican Republic, Daniel Biran offered Israeli assistance and experience for the Dominican-Haitian border control. “We have all kinds of technologies and alternatives for the border,” he stated. He mentioned the use of drones and satellite surveillance, among options that could be used to eradicate contraband and illegal migration. He said given that the border is 376 km long, a large and long-term project would be needed.
“Although the conditions of the State of Israel and those of here are not the same, I believe that we can contribute our experience, since each country has the obligation to protect its limits,” he stressed.
Ambassador Biran also offered Israeli technology for agriculture production in difficult natural conditions. He spoke of interest of Israeli in backing bilateral commerce that now is one-sided inclined heavily in favor of Israel.
He also said that Israel could contribute to reduce traffic accidents in the country with the installation of sensory devices in vehicles to control speed.
