The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has written to the Green Party to assess the potential impact of its newly adopted "Zionism is racism" policy.
The watchdog said it recognised "many Jewish people will be feeling vulnerable following the party's motion", which was passed at the Greens' conference earlier this month. The EHRC has asked for "more information" to "assess its practical implications and potential impact" after receiving complaints under the Equality Act about the motion, which has been widely criticised as antisemitic.
Labour Threatens to End Council Deals
The EHRC's letter comes after Labour announced it will end its power-sharing agreements with the Green Party on local councils if they do not reject the new policy.
The Green Party has yet to respond publicly to the EHRC's request for further details.
