    Israel Bans UK Green Party Leader Over 'Zionism is Racism' Stance

    Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar has barred the leader of the UK's Green Party, Zack Polanski, from entering Israel. The ban follows the party's adoption of a resolution equating Zionism with racism and calling for a Palestinian state 'from the river to the sea', which Israel interprets as advocating for its destruction. The resolution has been deemed antisemitic by Israel, as it denies the Jewish people's right to self-determination.
