Green Party leader Polanski has defended his decision not to attend a debate on a controversial motion about Zionism, after the motion was passed by party members.
The debate also saw him challenged over whether he believes Israel has the right to exist. The supplied material does not give his answer to that question.
The motion was considered by Green Party members and was ultimately approved. Its passage has placed attention on the party’s position on Zionism and on the leadership’s handling of the debate.
Polanski’s decision to miss the discussion was the subject of scrutiny, with the Green Party leader defending his absence. No further details were provided about the motion’s wording, the reasons for his absence or any subsequent action by the party.
