The Scottish National Party called for a bilateral ceasefire since the beginning of the conflict.
The SNP calls on the UK to follow the footsteps of Ireland, Norway, and Spain to formally recognise the State of Palestine to move towards a just and durable long term peace. It will bring forward a binding vote in the House of Commons on the formal recognition if the government will not immediately commit to doing so.
The SNP also calls for an end to arms sales.
The SNP also strongly discourages trade with companies active in the Occupied Palestinian territories and the Scottish Government has issued formal procurement advice to public advice to public bodies to reinforce this.
The SNP also calls on the UK government to take up reports of ill-treatment of children in custody and to demand immediate action from the Israeli government to behave in line with international law.
