The Green Party is demanding the government suspends the Israeli ambassador after Israel’s parliament approved the death penalty for Palestinians convicted for attacks deemed to be “acts of terrorism”.

Deputy Leader of the Green Party, Mothin Ali, said:

“These military courts are conducted without proper legal representation or juries. This is unconscionable – the government must immediately suspend Israel’s UK ambassador.

“Introducing the death penalty into Israel’s civil legal system, in a way that rights groups say will de facto only apply to Palestinians with Israeli citizenship, will result in Palestinians being killed without a fair trial.

“Palestinian citizens of Israel already lack certain rights granted to Israeli citizens, and their second-class status was made explicit with the passing of the 2018 Jewish Nation-State Law.

“It’s time for the Labour government to stand for truth: Israel is an apartheid state which is conducting a genocide in Gaza. Just like apartheid South Africa, it must be treated as a pariah state until the genocide is stopped, apartheid is ended, and Palestinians are granted the same rights as Israelis.

Ali repeated a call for the government to ban the sale of all weapons and weapon components to Israel:

“The government must make clear that it will not continue to sell any military weapons or weapons components to Israel. The Green Party calls for Britain to impose sanctions on Israel, as most of the world community did to South Africa, when it was also operating an apartheid state.”

Greens say Tory policy announcements are a ‘cruel attack’ and ‘show a party quickening its pace towards oblivion.’

Reacting to a host of ‘nasty’ policy proposals that have been announced since the start of the Conservative Party conference in Manchester, co-deputy leader of the Green Party, Mothin Ali, said:

“The announcements from Kemi Badenoch’s Conservative Party so far show the Tories are looking to outflank Reform for divisiveness and hatred. But they also show a party quickening its pace towards oblivion.

“The package so far – turbo charged welfare cuts, draconian anti-migration measures, and axing life-saving foreign aid – would leave few but the wealthiest unscathed. These measures are a cruel attack on the sick and disabled, migrants and asylum seekers, and some of the poorest communities in the world.  

“Nastiness is now at the very core of the Conservative Party. What a contrast to the vision of hope and bold politics witnessed at our own conference where we reaffirmed our policies to tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly and say unequivocally that refugees are welcome here.”
