  "summary": "Zack Polanski, leader of the UK Green Party, faces challenges to his leadership after a by-election defeat and divisions over the party's new policy on Zionism. Polanski had aimed to transform the Greens into a serious electoral force, but the party's recent performance has raised questions about his plans.\n\nThe Green Party recently adopted a motion at its annual conference equating Zionism with racism. According to Middle East Eye, this move recognised the \"harsh realities\" of Israel's actions, including the \"genocidal rampage\" in Gaza and the crime of apartheid.\n\nThe party's new policy has sparked controversy, and the by-election defeat has added to the pressure on Polanski's leadership.",
