Israel Bars Green Party Leader Polanski After Vote Calling Zionism Racist

Israel’s Foreign Ministry announced on Sunday that Zack Polanski, leader of the Green Party of England and Wales, would be barred from entering the country.

The announcement followed the party’s adoption of a motion classifying Zionism as a form of racism.

The entry ban targets Polanski in his capacity as party leader, although the motion was adopted by the party rather than presented as his personal declaration.

The information provided did not specify how long the ban would remain in place or whether Polanski had planned a visit to Israel.
