His statement comes as Israel launched a strike on what it claims was a Hamas command centre in northern Gaza. The Hamas-run Health Ministry said it was a school and it had killed 22 people and wounded 30, mostly women and children. When asked in the interview what his proudest moments were during his time as First Minister, Mr Yousaf replied: 'I suppose on the international stage, giving a voice to the voiceless in Gaza for me was exceptionally important.

Outside, others gathered around shrouded bodies. Some covered their faces as they wept for relatives killed in the strike.Read More Hostages killed in Gaza tunnel were due to be released in a prisoner exchange deal, officials claim 'We saw the whole world covered with smoke and stones and we saw people and children cut up.
