UK Green Party defines Zionism as racism, Israel protests

The UK Green Party has formally adopted a definition of Zionism as racism, prompting swift condemnation from Israel. Israel's president rejected the characterisation as an antisemitic lie, and the Israeli government has criticised the party's decision. The move highlights continuing tensions in Europe over how Israel and Zionism are framed amid the ongoing conflict and debates over antisemitism and anti-Zionism in British politics.
Why now: A major UK party formally equating Zionism with racism has triggered strong diplomatic backlash from Israel and reignited debate over anti-Zionism and antisemitism.
