Israeli anti-violence associations have raised the alarm on the consequences of government plans for easing restrictions on settlers’ gun ownership and said that such a move will lead to more grief and hostility for generations to come.
“A previous government led by Benjamin Netanyahu took decisions to facilitate granting arms licenses in 2018, and the result was an increase in violence and murder, especially within families and against women,” said Rela Mazali, the co-founder and project coordinator of Gun Free Kitchen Tables (GFKT).
