Member of the Knesset Michael Ben Ari has been denied a visa to attend a conference in the US.
The National Union MK is closely aligned with the Kach Party of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane. Due to Kahane's advocacy of violent ethnic cleansing of Palestinians Kach is outlawed in Israel and is considered a terror organization by the US State Department.
National Union is less radical than Kach but does not support any kind of self-determination for the occupied territories.
The Israeli government responded by cancelling the trip, which was also to include three other MK's.
