Israel bans UK Green Party leader Zack Polanski

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar ordered the ban after Polanski's party adopted a policy declaring Zionism a form of racism. The move has drawn criticism from supporters who view it as silencing British political figures over Israel-Palestine positions.
