Labor MK pens letter to Pennsylvania governor to express solidarity after Passover arson attack

Labor MK Gilad Kariv pens a letter to Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro to express his solidarity with the fellow Jewish lawmaker after his residence was targeted in an arson attack on the first night of Passover.

“Passover, which commemorates the Jewish people’s liberation and the triumph of spirit over oppression, serves as a powerful reminder of our mutual responsibility to stand firm against any attempt to harm Jewish life — whether on an individual or communal level,” writes Kariv, who serves as chairman of the Knesset Immigration, Absorption and Diaspora Affairs Committee.

“The attack on your home, which could have ended in tragedy, was not only an assault on a public servant — it was an assault on the values of freedom, tolerance, and religious faith,” Kariv adds.
