HUMAN rights groups have urged Scottish leaders to oppose Rosebank following news that the expansion could be at odds with the UK's new sanctions on Israeli settlements.

The call comes after The Ferret reported that Aberdeen-based Ithaca Energy had paid out nearly £100 million in profits to an Israeli firm linked by the UN to illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.
