Apparently any citizen can apply for the carry permit, but self-defense by itself is not a valid reason.

So, non-Jewish citizens can get a permit just as Jewish citizens can?

Well you made the statement that only Jewish people could carry. That's a bold statement. I know that Israel has a lot of non-Jewish citizens. I admit that I do not know, but I cannot imagine that Israel has different carry laws for Jewish and non-Jewish citizens.

So, you kinda either need to back that statement up or make an accurate one to replace it.

2. Applicant must be 21 years of age.
3. The permit request must be for personal use, not to engage in the business of firearms sales.
4. Applicant must fall into one of the following categories:
a. Part-time reservist (volunteer) for 3 years- may own 1 handgun
b. Such a reservist (volunteer) is a member of a gun club- may own 1rifle
c. Professional, licensed public transportation driver, transporting a minimum of 5 passengers- may own 1 handgun
d. Licensed animal control officer- may own 2 hunting rifles, *not*full automatic weapons, or semi-automatic weapons with a limited capacity magazine.
e. Full-time dealer of jewelry or large sums of cash or valuables-may own 1 handgun
​
West Bank and Gaza Strip Settlers:

The requirements are strict (too strict, IMO), however I see nothing that restricts guns to Jews.
