The Scottish Parliament is due to debate a motion in support of UN calls for a ceasefire in Gaza and the creation of safe routes for medical aid and displaced people.
In an interview with Al Jazeera, the Scottish first minister said he had been calling for a ceasefire in the besieged coastal enclave for weeks.
“I expect the Scottish Parliament to vote overwhelmingly for a motion calling for an immediate ceasefire, but we must also address the real reasons for this [conflict], which is that the Palestinians were promised a state but this promise was reneged on,” Yousaf said.
“There has to be a recognition of the State of Palestine so the two-state solution can be realised,” he added.

This guy openly hates the people of Scotland.
Half his party want him out of FM job.
Glad to hear it@Marko Svåse
I don’t get why this is a debate
Exactly!
They are just thieves😂😂
It’s democratic
@MjGit takes up time that should be used to govern Scots.
@Solomon Harris Mehringif Britain is supporting a genocidal assault then I’d like to hear a debate. Scotland knows what’s its like to be the under dog
Wow! I guess that the Hamas leadership is on the edge of their seats over this meaningless debate.
Whilst we Scots are ignored!
@Marko Svåseyou could always return to your ancestral land sagaland
@MjG why? And Irish descent, Dal Riata’s should leave too?
Why leave, When I live and work here?
Parts of Scotland were part of Kingdom of Norway under Norse rule from 800s to 1200s. Its as much my ancestors home as mine!
And since Israel isn’t part of Scotland the Israelis will ignore the resolution, just as they have ignored the UN one, the Arab/Muslim one, the Chinese sponsored one, and the Brics one. When will people understand that Israel is an independent sovereign country and that it doesn’t have to answer to anyone. Period. The war will end when Hamas is completely eliminated, the Palestinians accept their defeat, acknowledge that the land west of the Jordan is now Israeli land, the home of a Jewish state, and end their attempts to occupy it. How long this will take is entirely up to the Palestinians. Israel is in it for the long haul.
I’m Not Scottish But I Stand In Solidarity With Humza Yousaf. The Ethnic Cleansing & Genocide That’s Taking Place In Gaza Is Barberic & Inhumane.
And what about Yemen? Myanmar? Mali?
DRC? CAR? Chad?
Why are they having a debate? Discussions are going on with those involved.
Exactly! Ferry contracts, bed blocking, cuts to NHS, cuts to Fire Dept.
But this was discussed!
I think he is from Pakistan
End this genocide
Deuteronomy 20:16-17
Oh get a grip
Yet we have less teachers, nurses…cuts to Fire services. Cuts to Education and SNHS byt Humza wastes time debating something that outwith his Holyrood remit.
Humza clearly has no idea what he is doing most of the time. He just threw in a council tax freeze, with no regard to previous agreements, as he had nothing else to offer that day that didn’t involve Gaza.
Priorities eh!
your fingers are too big for that keyboard saggylad
@ED McIntoshmore name calling?
You want more fire devices ? 😮😊 ..and less debating on a subject that brings millions on to the streets ? And bye the bye their are more teachers,nurses,and funding not less but I guess you prefer to discuss roaming charges.
@joseph henry
? Any chance one can make comment more coherent?
@joseph henry services.
Not entirely sure what is being said by that comment.
If talking about scottish politics and funding, feel free to point out where there are more teachers nurses etc.
Race and religion have nothing to do with being Scottish but the UK government have made antisemitic laws to protect the Jewish community – laws which forbid us from saying how we really feel about this genocide. No one can feel this pressure more than Mr Yousaf – this makes me even more proud that he is my first minister. On yersel Humza! Scotland is with you – apart from the British lapdogs showing their colours below.
Gosh what a load of tripe!
Firstly, this chap has failed in all cabinet posts.
BOLLOCKS
Less than half SNP members voted for him as leader!
Wow – this post is a munter magnet – here, gwa an roll in yer ain pish!
@ED McIntosh
Greatest haverer o pesh is yersel!
Must not live in Scotland, if they think SNP are doing a good job!
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
We stand with Palestine 🇧🇩🇵🇸
Do you stand with Hamas also?
Yes I love people of Arab descent I love you
This is totally outwith the remit of the Scottish parliament. Foreign matters are reserved for Westminster only. It’s only going through because Humza is a Muhammadan
may God protect abu ubaidah yahya snwar aamin
DEBATE??, WHILE GENOCIDE IS HAPPENING, IS IT WARM WHERE YOU ARE?, YOU HAVE WATER, ELECTRICITY, FOOD AND ALL BASIC NECESSITIES OF HUMAN BEING?
Come here….live with me ! in peace !
Yes that’s what Arabs said to the jews in 1940s
UN😡
Braking news cnn in a interview with former prime minister of Israel ehud barak when he was asked about tunnels under al shifa hospital ha said that they Israeli build the tunnels for Hamas under al shifa hospital. 😂
Breaking? Oh dear
@Solomon Harris Mehring . You all western and Zionist Jewish Clowns 🤡 you should not allowed to work even in Circus maximus 🎪 demonCracy. 😂
Like the world will listen to this unelected supporter of terrorism.
Needs removing from a job NOBODY voted him into.
I want you please come here and live with me here in PEACE

EU clears continued development aid to Palestinians
The EU has given the green light to continuing development aid to Palestinians after a review found no funds had gone to Hamas, but said tighter controls could be imposed going forward.
Brussels launched the assessment of its assistance following the surprise attack by Hamas against Israel on 7 October.
The 27-nation bloc is the biggest international aid provider supporting Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, with nearly €1.2 billion earmarked for assistance from 2021 to 2024.
“The review found no indications of EU money having directly or indirectly benefited the terrorist organisation Hamas,” European Commission vice president Valdis Dombrovskis said.
The review found that the control system in place has worked, and as a result payment to Palestinian beneficiaries and UNRWA (United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees) will continue without payment delays.”
The European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, said it had cleared contracts worth a total of €216 million that include financial support for the Palestinian Authority and paying salaries of public servants.
But Brussels announced it now may apply tougher safeguards on its projects, including increased screening for any possible anti-Semitism.
Hypocrites
@MjG I copy and paste it, don’t shoot the messenger 😂 from the EU websites
@Brian Martinnot you 😂
This is one of the reasons we scots need proper Independence i.e. outside the EU – that way WE can decide who we send aid to.
Is that the level of journalism? Where did that chap study journalism?
Interesting accent. You’d think they could have found a Scot to do the report
The Scottish Parliament 😂
*UN🇺🇳 & UK🇬🇧 must end Israel occupation in West Bank & Golan. UK🇬🇧 responsible in Palestine conflict. Balfour declaration issued by UK(1917), which announced for establishment “national home for Jewish people” in Palestine. At that time, Palestine was teritory Ottoman empire & jews in Palestine were still minority.*
So nothing to do with the UN recognising the state of Israel in 1949? Lol
Its 2023 .Nothing to do with the UK for a long time now. Why not blame the Romans and the Pharaohs while you are at it.
While our Uncircumcised prime minister finds it difficult to utter those words “ ceasefire “ . What a kutta
Well his value system is different isn’t it
I didn’t knew that there is a fire in Scotland.
Jus as Israel has a right to defend themselves so to does the innocents Palestinians civilians have a right to defend themselves under the humanitarian laws so any countries want to stand with Palestinians civilians they have a legal right under humanitarian laws..
Stop the war now
Typing that on YouTube does what?
Palestine will be free free free masjid al aqsa will be free free kashmir will be free free free
Pakistan will be free one day
InshaGod
Shame to OIC LEADERS and block of 57 countries. Ya Allah changed these faithless leaders to faithful ya Allah Ameen.
His useless and was not elected.Let him call for an election if he will win.His a muslim bigot and does not understand anything. If Scotland is attacked today by terrorist he will not defend Scotland he will defend his brothers from pakistan,iran and Palestine.
Yess stop the war right now .. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Booo! 🇵🇸 = 💩
Gallant HA
Nice talk 🇵🇸🇧🇩🤝
Keep out of it Useless …….. the Scottish people didn’t elect you as their First Minister, and we have a lot better things for our money to be spent on than you throwing it at Third World countries, just becuse they’re the same religion as you.
Mat 15:28
Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

WHY IS NOT CALLING FOR THE RETURN OF HOSTAGES???
Secret jihadi
What about Dafur Sudan in Africa where thousands of black Africans women and children are massacred in the name of Islam.
UN will declare and impose ceasefire forcefully if and if the palestinian people are almost taking over on Tel Aviv.
If he wasn’t one of them Muslim chaps would he be bothered the Palestine’s
Also how much of the ring fence money did he send to get his wife’s parents released
Also the makeup artist is doing a good job painting blood onto the seemingly bombed children
If he was still married to his first wife , English and whte, would we be wasting parliamentary time on this?
Israel think they are king of Mideast.
God bless Scotland and it is people. Thanks Humza Yousuf for your courage.
Humza Yousaf is much better than Nicola Sturgeon
If he is so concerned about palistine events why not move there. His job as FM is to look after the Scottish people first and foremost. When Scotland is in trouble don’t expect other countries come to your aid
little rat !!!!
Scotland needs Gazan refugees
Aye like a hole in the head. Plenty of room in Egypt and Saudi Arabia but they say no.
When is Mr Useless going to start concentrating on Scotland & It’s people rather than a country that isn’t ours, Think about the people here in scotland Mr Useless. I’m not saying that the wars that are happening shouldn’t be talked about but there’s more to talk about like homelessness, housing problems, schools, mental health services, Hospital & dental & doctor appointments. The list is endless but Mr Useless only talks about the war, I can’t wait for the general election because you the unelected First minister shouldn’t be the FM of Scotland. You don’t support Scottish people.
Unbelievable
Allah hu akbar
Lol 😂
Scotland is screwed.
Is this “scottish” man still complaining about his jihadi family? 😂 lets go israel ❤
An attempt to distract from the shambles of health, education, record drug deaths, ferguson shipyard scandal, motorhome gate. All on the SNPs watch.
Get rid of this clown before he starts radicalizing Scotland. Why does he even have a voice ffs.
