Scottish Conservative Party leader Ruth Davidson condemned anti-Israel boycotts as "futile and wrong" during an open meeting organised by Glasgow Jewish Representative Council on Monday.

Mrs Davidson, who attended with her deputy Jackson Carlaw, stressed her party's support for Israel and dealt with topics including antisemitism during an hour-long Q&A.

She is the latest major Scottish political figure to address the Jewish community in recent months, following Nicola Sturgeon and Jim Murphy. Next up will be the Scottish Green Party's Patrick Harvie.

Rep council president Paul Morron said the meetings had been designed to foster closer ties after "a bad outbreak of antisemitism in Glasgow on the back of the 2014 Israel-Gaza conflict.

"It really impacted on our community at quite a deep level," Mr Morron explained. "These meetings have been very important in indicating a visible, public concern.

"And for the politicians, I think it's given them a direct insight into where the community is at. I think they've learned a great deal from it."
