The Labour Party has cut ties with the Green Party over its motion earlier this month adopting a resolution that stated that Zionism is racism and that called for a democratic Palestinian state from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, effectively calling for the eradication of the State of Israel.

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, leader of the Labour Party, announced Thursday that all power-sharing agreements with the Green Party would end unless its representatives reject the resolution within seven days.

Addressing Parliament Wednesday, he said, “Mr. Speaker, can I condemn the motion that was passed unequivocally? It is wrong. It is antisemitic, and this side of the House will have nothing to do with it. And we will always take the right response when it comes to any partnerships we have with other parties. We cannot support a partnership with a party that holds a position that has recently been adopted.”

The controversy erupted on Oct. 4 when the Green Party voted on the resolution, which passed by 1,022 votes to 813. The resolution stated that “Zionism should be treated as any other form of racism” and called for the “establishment of a single democratic Palestinian State in all of historic Palestine with Jerusalem as its capital.” The resolution also supported the “right of the Palestinian people to resistance and liberation from Israeli occupation” and the right of “oppressed colonial peoples to defend themselves against foreign oppression.”

Even Green Party leaders opposed the motion, with four of the five party MPs signaling their opposition. One Green Party MP said that they would support Jewish members who believed they were targeted as a result of the resolution, since an amendment saying that the motion should not be used to “pressure, proscribe or discipline members based on affiliation with Jewish community institutions” was voted down.

The Green Party motion ignited intense backlash across the political spectrum, with Israel’s Foreign Ministry barring Zack Polanski, the Greens’ Jewish leader, from entry into Israel.
