In the UK, a provocation against Israel was staged: Sa'ar shocked
At the Green Party conference in Brighton, Jewish participants were provided with a separate room for shelter amid a vote on a resolution declaring Zionism racism. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar said he was shocked by the events and called it a provocation.
At the annual Green Party conference in Brighton, Jewish participants were provided with a separate room for shelter in case of threat, as well as a special phone number and a separate entrance to bypass protesters. The security measures were taken amid a vote on a resolution proposing to officially declare Zionism a racist ideology. The draft resolution "Zionism is Racism" was prepared by the internal party group "Greens for Palestine." In support of the initiative, the authors prepared a 48-page document characterizing Zionism as a form of settler colonialism. Supporters of the resolution claim that this position is not anti-Semitism. Party leader Zack Polanski called for changes to the wording to avoid discrimination against Jewish members. Former party leaders Caroline Lucas and Adrian Ramsay opposed the resolution. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, after reviewing the publication, said he had read the material several times and noted that it shows the direction Britain is moving in 2026. Near the conference venue, pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered, separated by police.
