UK Green Party Faces Internal Turmoil Over Vote Defining Zionism as Racism

At the UK Green Party conference in Brighton, members are voting on a resolution to define Zionism as racism, outlets ynet and Makor Rishon reported. Under the proposed measure, the party would call for the establishment of a single democratic Palestinian state across the entirety of historic Palestine, a move that has sparked intense internal divisions within the party.

According to ynet, party leader Zack Polanski, who is Jewish and describes himself as anti-Zionist, is expected to abstain. When asked whether the State of Israel has a right to exist, he declined to answer affirmatively, stating that human beings have a right to exist. Official voting results and further details have not yet been released.
