Member of Knesset Nachman Shai (Zionist Union), called upon State Comptroller Yosef Shapira to conduct an examination into the recent questioning of leftists like Peter Beinart at Ben-Gurion Airport.
"The war on terror and delegitimization is one thing, but silencing is completely different," said Shai. "Israel's international standing and its democratic values have been severely damaged."
"The State of Israel is proud of its democracy and freedom of expression, both of which cannot have restrictions imposes on them," Shai added.
