HOLYROOD’S MSPs have been urged to pass a motion calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and add to international pressure.
While the Scottish Parliament does not have powers over foreign policy or defence, it did previously hold a debate on the Iraq war in 2003.’s John Swinney accused the UK and US governments of being determined to push ahead with war, with the thenJonathon Shafi, a campaigner with the Stop the War coalition, said the move would show Scotland stands “full square” behind a ceasefire in Gaza.
“I think it would add to the pressure, and I think it's the next phase that Humza’s leadership should undertake when it comes to what's going on in Gaza.” Yousaf did thank the Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office for assisting with his in-laws' escape, but in the early days of the conflict revealed that he had not been contacted by either the Prime Minister or Foreign Secretary.
And the Metropolitan Police vowed to crack down on any protests supporting Palestine over Remembrance weekend. “We've not seen anything like this in terms of the response to these demonstrations and protests. There are people losing their jobs, there are people afraid to write columns on the matter, this is not healthy.”He criticised the tens of thousands of people taking to the streets of London being “tarred with the same brush, as being some kind of hate mongers”.
