The Green Party could be banned from holding its conference at a venue in Brighton and Hove after the local council said a motion related to Zionism passed by the party was not compatible with its inclusion commitments, according to the BBC.
Brighton & Hove City Council, which oversees the conference venue in question, said the motion conflicted with the standards it requires of organizations using its facilities.
The dispute centers on a motion adopted by the Green Party concerning Zionism, though the precise wording and full content of the motion were not detailed in the available reporting.
The potential ban raises questions about the party's future ability to hold its conferences in Brighton and Hove, a city with which the Green Party has had a significant association.
It was not immediately clear how the Green Party intended to respond to the council's position or whether the dispute would affect previously scheduled events.
