The fallout follows a member vote of 1,022 to 813 to formally equate Zionism with racism and call for a single democratic Palestinian state.

In response to the adoption of the policy, Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar has banned party leader Zack Polanski from entering the country; Polanski, who is Jewish, abstained from the conference vote.
