Nottingham City Council debated a motion to boycott Israel this afternoon.

The 15 minute session at around 2pm today took place after a petition signed by 5,107 people was put forward by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign.

A council spokesman said: “Under the council's procedures, a petition of 5.000 signatures triggers a debate. The petition was presented to Council and in accordance with the constitution, a 15 minute debate took place."

There was no vote at the meeting.
