Excerpt:
After the Hamas-led attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023, far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir distributed semiautomatic rifles and other weapons to settlers and far-right Israelis, which are now being used against Palestinians.
Since then, more than 120,000 firearms have been distributed among Israeli settlers, while tens of thousands more have received conditional approvals.
