Scotland First Minister Humza Yousaf discusses pro-Palestine marches, his family’s return from Gaza and the wider conflict and Bonfire Night disorder in Niddrie.

Scotland’s First Minister has said plans for pro-Palestinian marches in London on Armistice Day should go ahead, saying he was “beyond angry” at the UK Government’s response.

The plans have caused concerns and been condemned by the UK Government, but Humza Yousaf has said describing them as “hate marches” is “unacceptable”.

Mr Yousaf branded incidents on bonfire night disorder in Niddrie, Edinburgh as “disgraceful” and said those responsible should feel the full force of the law.

Over the weekend, the First Minister and his family were celebrating the return of his mother and father-in-law after almost a month trapped in Gaza.

Elizabeth and Maged El-Nakla were visiting his family in the region when the October 7 attack by Hamas sparked bombing raids.

But some of their extended family, including Mr Yousaf’s wife Nadia’s elderly grandmother, brother and his young children, remain in the region.

Speaking of their return, the First Minister said he and his wife had doubted if they would ever see them again.
