SNP Faces Internal Backlash Over Angus Robertson's Meeting with Israeli Official

First Minister John Swinney defends the controversial encounter as necessary to advocate for a Gaza ceasefire.

Angus Robertson met with Israel’s deputy ambassador, Daniela Grudsky, prompting criticism from SNP members.
The meeting was not initially publicized, leading to accusations of secrecy and internal party conflict.
John Swinney stated the meeting aimed to convey Scotland's stance on the Gaza conflict and call for a ceasefire.
Several SNP figures have called for Robertson’s resignation, deeming the meeting inappropriate and tone-deaf.
