Knesset security banishe

Peace Now secretary-general Yariv Oppenheimer will be prohibited from entering the Knesset premises, according to a Monday decision by Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin. The announcement came after Peace Now activists posing as students attempted to persuade right-wing MKs to release statements that would be used to portray Israel's political Right negatively in a documentary. The activists were detained after MK Michael Ben-Ari (NU) and his aide became suspicious of the nature of the questions posed to him by the "students."
