A horrific murder occurred in Netanya on Sunday. A policeman is suspected of murdering his thirty-year-old wife in the presence of their three young children (two from his wife's previous marriage). The policeman then called the police and said, "I murdered her." His own colleagues had to arrest him for the suspected murder.
Sunday's murder followed closely on the heels of another murder of a Netanya woman only last week, when Aliza Shpak was murdered by her ex-husband. The "Gun on the Kitchen Table" coalition, a group of 15 organizations that oppose the use of weapons in the public sphere, said on Sunday, "Another woman was murdered tonight, only a few days after the tragic death of Aliza Shpak, of blessed memory."
"This murder proves what we have been claiming for a long time - more weapons in the civilian sphere are a real danger to the lives of innocent people, and of women in particular."
"We call on the Prime Minister, the Minister of Public Security, the Minister of Welfare and the Police Commissioner to immediately take responsibility and stop the expansion of the weapons test, which has already increased the number of weapons in civilian areas, and act to prevent the next murder. The time has come that women's personal security and women's lives will also determine the policy of this government."
The coalition is currently taking legal action against Minister of Public Security, Gilad Erdan's decision to expand the weapons test. At the beginning of September, the coalition had submitted a letter to Erdan to exhaust the proceedings prior to a petition to the High Court of Justice against his decision to expand the weapons test and ease the criteria for obtaining a license to carry weapons. Currently, since the letter has not received a response, the coalition is proceeding with a petition to the High Court.
The new criteria for obtaining a gun license makes hundreds of thousands of IDF infantry unit veterans eligible to receive firearms licenses. In addition, officers and commanders will not be required to return their arms and weapons after they are released from reserve duty.
