In his letter, Kariv emphasized that the attack represented not just a threat to Shapiro personally but "an assault on the values of freedom, tolerance, and religious faith."
Kariv was previously linked to a leak from a June 2023 committee where PM Netanyahu downplayed warnings from security officials about the implications of the anti-judicial reform protests.
“I expect the Israeli government and the Knesset to take just as clear a stand,” Kariv said.
Lapid said the "violent and extortionate bill" would be repealed in the first week of next Knesset.
So far, the Knesset Constitution, Law, and Justice Committee has rejected 2,700 out of 70,000 objections. The coalition enjoys a majority in the committee.
Controversy surrounds Israel's upcoming antisemitism conference. MK Gilad Kariv calls for rescinding invitations to far-right European politicians with antisemitic ties.
While some 6,500 sex offense cases were opened in these years, the police representative could not say how many of them were rape cases.
The committee would also examine the issue of people emigrating away from Israel, which Kariv claimed the government was not concerned about.
Kariv described his position as 'the exact opposite' of what Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli presented to the CoP on Sunday.
Kariv pledged to address aliyah challenges, antisemitism, emigration, and support for Jewish communities worldwide.
