Opposition Leader Tzipi Livni has responded to the questioning of leftist Jewish-American journalist Peter Beinart at Ben-Gurion Airport by saying, "The State of the Jewish People of Netanyahu stops a Jew for questioning at Ben-Gurion Airport on a bar mitzvah trip. There is no limit [to its extremes]."

The Zionist Union Knesset member added, "I demanded today an urgent discussion on the matter in the sub-committee on intelligence, with the participation of the relevant bodies."
