The SNP has called on the UK Government to “stop the excuses” and follow other European countries in recognising the state of Palestine.

The party’s comments follow a speech by French President Emmanuel Macron during his recent state visit to the UK, in which he said recognising the state of Palestine was “the only path to peace”.
