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.
