Israel has banned Zack Polanski from entering the country after Green Party members voted to define Zionism as racist.
The party was accused by Israel of giving ‘legitimacy to terrorism’ after a majority on Sunday agreed with the motion to formally adopt a position against Zionism at the party’s conference in Brighton.
Israel’s foreign ministry described the move as a ‘stain’ on Britain’s history and barred Mr Polanski from visiting the nation.
In an update today it said: ‘As a first step, foreign minister Gideon Sa’ar has decided this evening to declare Green Party leader Zack Polanski barred from entering Israel.’
