Stephen Kerr has questioned whether the first minister 'bent the rules' over aid agency funding.
Conservative MSP Stephen Kerr has insisted he has "no regrets" for saying Humza Yousaf may have had a conflict of interest in sending funding to Gaza.
The Scottish government has said that the funding decision was taken by Mr Yousaf following advice from officials. He said: "Most of my political life, I've battled insinuations from sections of the media desperate to link me to terrorism despite campaigning my whole life against it. A spokesperson said: "All those options, by definition, were open to ministers to choose. The decision being sought was which option ministers wished to choose.
