THE SNP Government has been accused of showing a “clear lack of will” to follow through on a Holyrood vote for Scotland to boycott Israel.

Last September, MSPs supported a Green motion calling for the Scottish Government to “immediately impose a package of boycotts, divestment and sanctions targeted at the state of Israel and at companies complicit in its military operations and its occupation of Palestine".
