A request to fly the Israeli flag outside the Welsh Parliament has been refused by its presiding officer.

Elin Jones, who is a Plaid Cymru politician, said she did not think it should be flown while both Israelis and Palestinians are suffering.

Welsh Conservative Senedd leader Andrew RT Davies, who had asked for the flag, said he was “extremely disappointed”.

The Senedd is dimming its lights as a mark of respect until the end of the week.
