According to them, "Yesh Atid wishes to make it clear that its participation in Gilad Karib's bill originates from an administrative error and that it will not propose laws related to changes in the judicial system as long as negotiations are taking place in the President's House."

As mentioned, the storm arose following Karib's proposal to amend the Basic Law on Human Dignity and Freedom and to introduce the value of equality into the law. Yesh Atid's Knesset members supported the proposal, but later retracted it and claimed that it was an "administrative error". This, in the shadow of the criticism from the Minister of Justice Levin, who accused: "You are hypocrites, you say that we do not want a real dialogue, but you promote opposite bills related to the world of law."
MK Gilad Karib said in response to Yesh Atid's announcement: "Are you serious? All week we vote on defiant and racist proposals of the coalition, and you apologize for a proposal in a preliminary reading to anchor the right to equality? The dialogue does not prevent this crazy government from promoting the proposal that Zionism = the nationality law. So what to apologize for? Because Levin shouted? This tweet is not an administrative mistake, but a moral one."
