The Foreign Ministry sharply criticized the approval of the British Green Party's proposal that Zionism is a form of racism and effectively calls for the destruction of the State of Israel. The Foreign Ministry stated: "The Green Party in Britain has today ceased to function as a political party and has become a terror-supporting entity. The shocking decision calls for the establishment of a Palestinian state from the river to the sea - effectively the destruction of the State of Israel. This is a text that crosses the boundaries of political discourse, and as long as it is not removed, it constitutes a stain on the history of the United Kingdom. All parties in Britain, led by the ruling party, Labour, must immediately and unequivocally disavow this distorted text."
