Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Sunday that Minister Gideon Sa'ar has decided to ban Zac Polonsky, the chairman of the British Green Party, from entering Israel. The decision follows a resolution passed by Polonsky's party that equates Zionism with racism, legitimizes armed struggle against Israel, and calls for a Palestinian state from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, which Israel interprets as a call for its destruction.
According to the Foreign Ministry, the party's resolution constitutes clear antisemitic text under the IHRA definition, as it denies the Jewish people's right to self-determination. The ministry also stated that the foreign minister's decision was coordinated with the relevant authorities.
