Nine officers in Glasgow, including Labour peer Baroness Bryan, and six in Edinburgh stood down.
Fifteen Labour officers have resigned over party rules about responding to the conflict in Gaza.The Glasgow Kelvin officers accused Scottish Labour of "stifling democracy" after a motion calling for an end to military action was ruled out of order.
It said they were being "forced to shut down discussion", and they refused to be "part of a party machinery which stifles democracy".A statement from the party said: "Scottish Labour has repeatedly and unequivocally condemned the actions of Hamas. There is no justification for the loss of innocent life and the targeting of civilians.
"I think the UK Labour leadership have failed continually to show leadership in this situation to oppose the UK government in their outright support for Israel as it launches an inhuman offensive against the people of Gaza," he said. Mr McCail said Mr Sarwar had already "deviated" from the UK Labour general secretary's advice that Labour's elected representatives should not attend demonstrations.
