A PETITION calling for a Ukrainian-style visa for Palestinians has crossed the 100,000-signature threshold for Parliament to consider it for debate.

The call by Gaza Families Reunited won the backing of 75 charities and law centres, Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf and cross-party MPs.

“This is an incredible achievement that showcases the extent of solidarity in response to calls from members of the Palestinian community wishing to reunite with their loved ones here,” said the campaign group.
