Ross Greer, co-leader of the Scottish Green Party and Member of the Scottish Parliament, has urged the Scottish Government to move beyond verbal condemnation and implement concrete measures to hold Israel accountable for what he describes as a genocide in Palestine. While the Scottish Government has officially recognized the situation as genocide, Greer criticizes the lack of action and has submitted policy proposals inspired by the pro-Palestine Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, drawing parallels to the anti-apartheid boycott of South Africa. The Scottish Government has stated it will consider these BDS-style proposals. Meanwhile, in the UK, the Palestine Action protests have led to arrests, including that of a doctor, but senior officials indicate most protesters are unlikely to face prison. The Metropolitan Police's handling of the demonstrations has received mixed commentary, with some praising their approach and others questioning the motivations and effectiveness of the protests.
