Israel bars UK Green Party leader over anti-Zionist policy

Israel has barred the British Green Party leader from entry, citing the party's policy that 'Zionism is racism' and its support for a single democratic state across historic Palestine. The move escalates diplomatic friction between Israel and a Western political party, marking a rare entry ban on a mainstream European political figure. The policy shift reflects growing left-wing alignment with Palestinian rights, potentially straining UK-Israel relations.
