Scottish police arrested 10 protesters as they scaled the roof of the Holyrood building and held up banners, which called for an end to the Israeli regime's crimes in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
Members of the group called “We Are All Hana Shalabi”, named after a Palestinian hunger striker, demanded a ban on future visits by the Israeli regime’s ambassador to Scotland.
Protester Jack McGinn said: "We thought it was disgraceful that the First Minister met with the Israeli ambassador at a time like this, and we would hope that the ambassador will not be invited back to Scotland.
"We think the anti-Israeli sentiment is well founded in Scotland, and for good reason.
"We are protesting against the Scottish government's inaction over the current Israeli atrocities in Gaza and the lack of an acceptable statement that's come from either the First Minister, the government or the Scotland National Party (SNP).
McGinn said: "We think that the First Minister should come out with a strong statement condemning the Israeli atrocities in Gaza, and the Scottish government should divest from all ties with arms companies involved in maintaining Israeli's occupation.”
