Green Party leader Zack Polanski is conditioning potential cooperation with Labour on the recognition of the Gaza conflict as genocide and the distancing of Labour leader Andy Burnham from Israel.

Green Party leader Zack Polanski said that any cooperation with Labour under potential new leader Andy Burnham would depend on clear positions on key issues, especially Israel's genocide in the Gaza Strip. Polanski described recognizing the Gaza situation as genocide as a “red line” and said Burnham must distance himself from pro-Israel advisers and adopt “moral clarity” on the issue. He also linked possible Green cooperation to policies on inequality and electoral reform. #Israel #Palestine #Gaza #Genocide
