Humza Yousaf

Former Scottish first minister Humza Yousaf has claimed that approving the Rosebank oil field would 'facilitate illegal Israeli settlements' in the West Bank, in comments reported exclusively by The Scotsman. The remarks tie the North Sea drilling debate to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, linking oil extraction to settlements in occupied territory. The intervention is drawing attention amid ongoing controversy over both the Rosebank project's environmental impact and the West Bank situation.
