During the Green Party’s annual conference in Brighton, party members voted in favor of a motion that defines Zionism as a form of racism. The motion, which reflects a shift in the party's stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, has triggered significant debate within the organization's ranks.

While the motion passed among the membership, it has highlighted a clear divide between the party's grassroots base and its senior leadership figures. Some party officials have expressed concern over the implications of the vote, suggesting that the language used in the motion could alienate segments of the public and complicate the party's position on international human rights issues. Conversely, supporters of the motion argue that it is a necessary step in addressing what they describe as the systemic oppression of Palestinians.

There is currently no consensus on how this policy will be integrated into the party's official platform or how it will affect future electoral strategies. The BBC reports that the vote has caused visible friction at the top of the party, though specific details regarding the exact vote count or the identities of the dissenting leadership figures remain limited in the initial reporting.
