Jewish Human Rights Watch has welcomed a u-turn by two Welsh councils on their decision to boycott Israeli goods.

Gwynedd County Council and Swansea City Council have reversed their boycott decisions, after court proceedings issued by JHRW earlier in the year.

The councils said that the motions had been non-binding and that they had had no practical effect.

JHRW said in a statement that they welcome the U-turns and are “delighted to declare that now no local councils in Wales support anti-Jewish boycotts”.
