Israel's Foreign Ministry condemned the Green Party of England and Wales after members adopted an anti-Zionist policy at their conference on Sunday. The motion passed by 1,022 votes to 813 and backs a single democratic state across historic Palestine, BDS and a full arms embargo against Israel. The ministry said the adopted text supports armed struggle and replacing Israel with a Palestinian state from the river to the sea. It urged all British parties, particularly governing Labour, to distance themselves immediately and unequivocally from the decision.
