Mr Yousaf used his first Christmas message to renew his call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza war.

Scotland’s first Muslim leader, whose in-laws fled the conflict in Gaza, said Christmas came at a time when people were “concerned about the state of the world and the future”.

“We are witnessing unimaginable horrors taking place in the very region of Christ’s birth,” he said.

“My prayer this Christmas is for peace and an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, so we see the end of the killing of innocent civilians.”
