Israeli foreign ministry condemns Green party vote as 'stain on history of UK'
The Israeli foreign ministry has issued a statement condemning the Green party in the light of today’s vote, Tom Scotson from the Sun reports.
In the statement, the foreign ministry said:
double quotation markThe shocking resolution adopted today legitimises armed struggle, calls for a Palestinian state “from the river to the sea” - meaning the destruction of the State of Israel - and labels as “racist” the aspiration of the Jewish people for self-determination.
This goes far beyond the boundaries of legitimate political debate. As long as this resolution remains in place, it will stand as a stain on the history of the United Kingdom.
