National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir shared a media report from the US press that highlights his gun licensing reform as a successful model worthy of examination. The excerpt cited in the post says: "While in the United States the debate over civilian weapons focuses on crime and mass shootings, the successful gun licensing reform led by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has proven that arming and training citizens thwarts terrorism and saves lives." The specific US outlet was not named in the shared text; the minister did not provide additional details in this post.
As The Zioneer previously reported (June 22), Ben Gvir has expanded the reform to four more communities, with over 270,000 Israelis receiving gun licenses since the expansion. The reform has been a central policy of the minister, who has faced both domestic and international criticism, but this new report indicates some US media circles view it in a positive light.
