Court records link Green Party motion proposer to jailed al-Qaeda supporter
Court documents reveal that Lubna Speitan, the Green Party member who proposed the motion declaring Zionism a form of racism, was listed as a 'close friend' of Minh Quang Pham, a British national jailed in the US for supporting al-Qaeda. Speitan offered to testify for Pham in 2015 to support a mental health defense, though she did not appear in person. This revelation has intensified internal divisions within the Green Party, which already faces resignations, legal threats, and a ban on its leader from entering Israel following the motion's adoption.
