Greens face vote to reject Israel’s existence

Green Party members will vote on a motion to formally reject Israel’s right to exist and back Palestinian armed resistance, according to GB News Politics. The internal move heaps pressure on party leader Zack Polanski.

Grassroots activists from the Greens for Palestine sub-group have successfully tabled a motion for the upcoming party conference in Brighton. The proposal seeks to push Mr Polanski into declaring Zionism as racism within official Green Party policy.

Mr Polanski, who is Jewish, previously supported Israel’s right to exist but recently admitted to changing his position on Zionism. The unfolding internal battle highlights deep ideological divisions within the party regarding the Middle East conflict.

Critics argue that the motion crosses a critical threshold by targeting a sovereign nation’s legitimacy and endorsing armed conflict. Proponents within the grassroots maintain that the pressure reflects the true sentiment of their membership base.
