The former first minister confronted the Scots-born former Tory minister during an event at Glasgow University on Tuesday evening.Glasgow Pollok MSP Yousaf said he "hopes to God I get to see the day" that the IDF and Israeli politicians are tried for war crimes at the International Criminal Court at The Hague in the Netherlands.The Israeli military has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza in the last 15 months.

Israel invaded the territory after Hamas killed over 1,000 Israelis in an attack on October 7, 2023.Yousaf said at the event: "I don't care what side of the debates or geopolitics you're on, but I want you to just humanise it for a minute.

I want you to picture your child, your son, your daughter, your grandchild, your niece, your nephew."I want you to picture them as they were when they were two years old.

I want you to picture the family dinner that you're having. Enjoying the beautiful joy that a two-year-old brings."And I just want you to imagine what it must have felt like for the grandparents of Laila Al-Khatib when a bullet burst through the window and smashed into her skull and she lay there bleeding to death, and they were helpless.
