Complaints about gun permit delays have skyrocketed, with a 500 per cent surge in grievances flooding Israel's National Security Ministry in 2024, the State Comptroller revealed Tuesday.
After a telephone interview with the ministry's Firearm Licensing Department, eligible citizens without a criminal record or health issues can now be issued a gun license within a week.
Israel's Ministry of National Security and the Israel Police reported that a recent wave of resignations in the police force has been stopped with a 15 per cent decrease in the resignations of personnel in the permanent service.
