Yousaf shared a distressing video from his mother-in-law Elizabeth El-Nakla describing the situation on the ground and pleading for help. While expressing sympathy for Israeli victims of Hamas's October 7 attack that killed over 1,300, Yousaf stressed collective punishment of Gazans cannot be justified. He called on the international community to broker an immediate ceasefire and humanitarian corridor. Yousaf's rebuke of Israel's actions highlights growing criticism as Gaza braces for a possible ground invasion. The UN warned Israel's evacuation notice could have devastating consequences for over 1 million Gazans.
