Gaza war surgeon Dr Ghassan Abu-Sittah has been elected as the new rector of the University of Glasgow.
A former student of the university, Dr Abu-Sittah is a world-leadng plastic and reconstructive surgeon.
He has operated as a war surgeon in Yemen, Iraq, Syria and South Lebanon and was based in Shifa Hospital and Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza for 43 days during the current conflict.
He received 80% of first preference votes and has been elected to a three-year term.
Dr Abu-Sittah received 4,172 votes to 350 for comedian Susan McCabe, 234 for Lady Rita Rae and 430 for Paul Sweeney MSP.
He stood on a platform of opposing the war in Gaza, divesting the University of Glasgow from the arms trade, connecting with universities in Palestine and more.
He told The Herald earlier this year: "For me, my experience in Glasgow was a very formative one.
“The life choices that I made and the career choices that I made to pursue a parallel career in war surgery was built out of that experience and that side of Glasgow that is extremely internationalist.
“When I got to University of Glasgow, Winnie Mandela was the rector, there were solidarity groups with El Salvador and Nicaragua, we set up a scholarship for the Sabra and Shatila massacre victims.
