Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has declared the leader of the UK's Green Party an undesirable person in the country. This strong reaction from Jerusalem follows the party's adoption of a resolution endorsing armed struggle and calling for a Palestinian state from the river to the sea. The Israeli ministry stated that the UK Green Party has lost its status as a traditional political group and has become an organization that justifies terrorism.
According to Israel, the resolution effectively supports the destruction of the State of Israel and labels the Jewish people's aspiration for national self-determination as racist. Israeli diplomats emphasized that such decisions go beyond civilized political discourse and seriously damage the reputation of the British political system.
Jerusalem has appealed to all British political parties, including the ruling Labour Party, to openly condemn the resolution and distance themselves from its content. Foreign Minister Gideon Saar made the decision to ban the UK Green Party leader from entering Israel. The ministry stated that the entry restrictions will remain in place until the party revises its position and abandons its anti-Israel rhetoric, which Israel views as a direct threat to its security.
