John Swinney pledged to raise the suffering in Gaza while meeting Donald Trump during his visit to Scotland. He views Trump's trip as a significant moment to enhance Scotland's global presence and address important issues, including war and peace. Increasing pressure exists within his party to take a strong stance on the Gaza crisis. Former first minister Humza Yousaf and his wife have called on governments to assist those suffering due to the ongoing blockade. El-Nakla's family is personally affected by the crisis, emphasizing that immediate action is necessary to prevent starvation and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
As we welcome the president of the United States, Scotland will be showcased on the world stage. This provides Scotland with a platform to make its voice heard on the issues that matter, including war and peace, justice and democracy.
Words are not enough. Time is not on the side of the people there. As I speak, my family like millions of others is starving.
