Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, highlighted that 44% of these licenses were granted to women in Judea and Samaria. The surge reflects a broader sentiment of empowerment and self-reliance among Israeli women, who are keen on ensuring their safety and that of their communities. Israel's stringent firearm regulations ensure that every gun holder is trained, responsible, and mentally sound. This trend isn't merely about firearms but symbolizes empowerment, self-reliance, and the enduring spirit to shield loved ones, resonating with Israel's ethos of strength, unity, and determination. WEEKLY FACT The country has the highest number of chess grandmasters per capita of any country in the world. UNITY IN STRATEGY AND VALUES Israel recently welcomed a high-ranking US defense delegation, underlining the enduring ties and mutual strategic interests between the two nations. The US Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, Ronald Moultrie, led the American team, collaborating with Israel's defense experts on pressing security and intelligence issues, with a particular emphasis on challenges posed by Iran. The delegation's tour of the northern Israeli border highlighted the threats from Hezbollah. Moreover, their visit to Jerusalem, including the National Hall for Israel’s Fallen and the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Museum, underscored the shared values and histories of the two countries. This collaboration exemplifies Israel's commitment to peace, unity, and coexistence in the Middle East.
