Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said:
I welcome the announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and militant factions in Gaza, brokered by Egypt. The ceasefire must now be honoured to prevent the loss of further civilian life.
The UK will support all efforts to promote dialogue and create a pathway towards sustainable peace.
