ABERDEEN — The U.K. is “enabling” Israel as it prepares to wage a ground offensive in Gaza, according to Nadia El-Nakla, wife of Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf.Speaking at a fringe meeting at the Scottish National Party conference on Sunday, El-Nakla spoke of feeling “helpless” as her parents remain trapped in Gaza. Both she and Yousaf have made calls for the U.K. government to help establish a humanitarian corridor to assist civilians in the Gaza Strip. Asked for her view of the U.K. government’s latest response to the Hamas conflict — where Foreign Secretary James Cleverly asked Israel to show “restraint” as the country continues to respond to Hamas’ surprise attack last week — El-Nakla said the government has enabled Israel by offering some limited military support.Britain last week deployed military equipment including surveillance aircraft and naval patrols to the eastern Mediterranean.
