Israel's ambassador Zvi Shtauber told News 24 he welcomed the news

confining herself to confessing understanding for suicide bombers," he
said.

Kenneth Collins, a former chair of the Scottish Council of Jewish
Communities, said: "The comments were irresponsible and phrased in a
way that people will take from them that she was in favour of terror
and not peace, and I'm sure that is not what she intended."
