Israel bans Green Party leader Polanski after Zionism vote
On Monday, the Israeli foreign ministry prohibited Green Party leader Zack Polanski from entering the country, following his party's vote to categorise Zionism as racist. The motion, backed by 1,022 votes to 813, also supports a single democratic Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital. Israel's action comes after it previously denied entry to 11 additional British MPs and a lawyer last month.
