An influential Anglican group is to ask church leaders to impose a boycott of Israel and firms that do business there to protest the occupation of Palestinian areas.

The Anglican Peace and Justice Network's call comes amid growing concern in Israel at rising support among churches, universities and trade unions in the west for a divestment campaign like the boycott of apartheid South Africa.

In July, the US Presbyterian Church became the first major denomination to agree on a formal boycott of Israel.
