"Firearm licensing will be expedited and expanded in order to enable thousands of additional citizens to carry weapons," read a statement on the Facebook page of the Prime Minister of Israel. Bradford Betz is a Fox News Digital breaking reporter covering crime, political issues, and much more.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir told reporters over the weekend: "When civilians have guns, they can defend themselves."
The measures also include depriving social security rights to the attacker’s family. The full cabinet was expected to consider the measure on Sunday.
