he Green Party of England and Wales is set to vote on a motion to declare Israel's actions in Gaza a genocide, as its three-day annual conference begins.

The mood was buoyant and energised at the party's conference in Manchester on Friday, which comes after the party enjoyed unprecedented success at the July general election, winning four seats in parliament - up from one in previous years.

Bora wants the party to go further than it has so far, saying she and others plan to table a motion to have the party declare Israel's actions in Gaza a genocide.

Chris Williams, who ran the recent election campaign, told journalists: "Gaza was a big issue in the election. A quarter of all Green voters named it as the reason they voted Green."

People of colour were increasingly feeling disillusioned with major political parties' policies towards Gaza, he added
