Israel Bans Green Party Leader After 'Zionism is Racism' Motion

Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has banned Green Party leader Zack Polanski from entering the country. This action was taken after Green Party members adopted a motion that declares Zionism to be a form of racism.

Details of the motion's specific wording and the context of its adoption within the Green Party were not immediately available. The motion's passage has led to a significant diplomatic response from Israel, which views such declarations as deeply offensive and antisemitic.
