Humza Yousaf has tabled a motion which calls for MSPs to "unequivocally condemn in the strongest possible terms Hamas’s barbaric and unjustifiable terrorist attacks against Israeli citizens".
It also "affirms the right of all Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace and security" and "agrees the killing of innocent civilians in Gaza, including women and children who have been besieged by Israeli forces, must stop".
Speaking ahead of the vote, Yousaf said: "The Scottish Parliament has an opportunity to unite to send a message of peace to world leaders and to those enduring untold suffering in the Middle East.
"The motion that will be debated, tabled today, condemns the barbaric and unjustifiable actions of Hamas, and echoes the calls of the UN Secretary-General for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire."
Scottish Labour has confirmed it would vote in favour of Yousaf's motion as well as adding an amendment of its own.
The party will call for the International Criminal Court to investigate the conduct of all parties in this conflict and for an end to illegal occupation and siege.
