Humza Yousaf says Israel deliberately destroyed Gaza’s education system

In December 2025, former Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf told Al Jazeera that Israel is deliberately destroying Gaza's education system. Yousaf described this alleged destruction as a "scholasticide," claiming it is part of a broader effort to erase Palestinian society. He argued that the targeting of schools and the wider educational infrastructure is intentional. The comments were made in an interview with Al Jazeera. Yousaf's statement focuses on the alleged deliberate destruction of Gaza's education system by Israel and its potential motivations.
