I, like many people in Wrexham, welcome the news of a ceasefire between the Israeli government and Hamas due to come in to force on Sunday.
However there is still a long way to go. The ceasefire will bring huge relief to the people of Gaza who have endured immense suffering and to the families of the Israeli hostages, awaiting news of their loved ones.
We need to see a safe return of hostages and increased humanitarian aid into Gaza. The rebuilding of Gaza must be a priority. The horror and devastation of this conflict has gone on for too long.
A two state solution and lasting peace remain the ultimate aim. The British Government will continue its vital diplomatic efforts alongside our partners to ensure this opportunity is taken.
