Chairwoman Tamar Zandberg of the Meretz Party and fellow Meretz Members of Knesset Esawi Frej and Mossi Raz went on Sunday to the detention facility at Ben-Gurion Airport to visit American student Lara Al-Qassem, who is being detained, pending an appeal of an order to deport her over her activities on behalf of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel.
The facility is refusing to allow the Knesset members to enter.
