Where it stands

At its Brighton conference on 4 October, Green Party members passed motion A105 by 1,022 votes to 813, adopting its anti-Zionist position and related policy. On 9 October, Zack Polanski said he would not have backed the motion unamended and would have supported an amended version; his comments did not reverse the policy, and its status remains open to any formal amendment or reversal.

The story so far

  1. Update 23 days later

    Four of five Green MPs opposed the Zionism motion. Now Polanski rejects its wording

    After days of unanswered questions, the Green leader says he would not have backed the motion as written. His clarification leaves the adopted policy—and its implications for members—unresolved.

    Answered in this report

    • The by-election result, with the count running into Friday 9 October.Labour’s Sagal Abdi-Wali won with 12,292 votes to Polanski’s 8,928, a majority of 3,364. The result does not establish the motion’s electoral effect.

  2. Update 1

    The Greens' anti-Zionist motion passed 1,022 to 813, split the leadership and led Israel to bar Zack Polanski, days before he stands in a by-election.

    Still open after this report

    • Whether the adopted motion includes the Palestine Action clauses that the tabled text carried.
    • The legal mechanism of the Israeli bar and what further steps follow.
    • How many members leave, and whether any legal challenge to the policy is filed.
