Scottish government suspends meetings with Israel

The Scottish government has announced it will not hold any more meetings with Israeli ambassadors until real progress is made in peace talks over the Gaza conflict.
 
The SNP administration has faced criticism after External Affairs Secretary Angus Robertson met Israel's Deputy Ambassador to the UK, Daniela Grudsky.
 
Mr. Robertson said he was sorry that the meeting was not strictly limited to talks about a ceasefire.
 
He said the government would not accept further invitations from Israel until real progress had been made towards peace, on humanitarian assistance and until Israel co-operates fully with its international obligations on the investigation of genocide and war crimes.
