UK Green Party faces Israeli entry ban after anti-Zionism resolution

The policy shift signals a hardening stance within the party, which now officially endorses the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, an immediate arms embargo against Israel, and the creation of a single democratic state across historic Palestine. A party spokesperson described the vote as the result of a rigorous internal debate, framing the decision as an extension of their commitment to universal human rights and opposition to systemic racism.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry responded sharply, condemning the resolution as a form of antisemitism that denies Jewish self-determination. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar categorized the party’s support for a state spanning from the river to the sea as a call for the destruction of the State of Israel. In direct response to the motion, the ministry announced that Polanski is now prohibited from crossing the border, labeling the party’s platform a legitimization of armed struggle.
