- Israel barred UK Green Party Chair Zac Polonsky from entry.
- The decision followed a party resolution equating Zionism with racism.
- Israel's Foreign Ministry called the resolution 'anti-Semitic' and 'pro-terror'.
- The ministry urged UK parties to disavow the Green Party's stance.
Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has ordered that Zac Polonsky, the chair of the UK Green Party, be declared persona non grata, barring him from entering Israel. The decision follows a resolution passed by the Green Party at its annual conference today, which equates Zionism with racism and promotes armed struggle. The Israeli Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the resolution, stating that the UK Green Party had ceased to function as a political party and had become a supporter of terrorism. The ministry asserted that the Greens had officially adopted Hamas's green color and its ideology calling for the elimination of the State of Israel through armed struggle.
The ministry further emphasized that the call for a Palestinian state "from the river to the sea" and the comparison of Zionism to racism cross the boundaries of political discourse and constitute a stain on the United Kingdom. Consequently, the Foreign Ministry called on all parties in the UK, particularly the Labour Party, to immediately and unequivocally disavow the Green Party's move.
