Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to re-establish a ceasefire in Gaza.

We urge all parties to return urgently to talks, implement the ceasefire agreement in full and work towards a permanent peace. More bloodshed is in no-one's interest. Our priority is urging all parties to return urgently to dialogue and to ensuring the ceasefire agreement is implemented in full and work towards permanent peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians.

Since the hostilities resumed, the Foreign Secretary has spoken to Secretary Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, Israeli Minister for Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer, EU High Representative Kallas and the UN emergency relief co-ordinator, Tom Fletcher. On 15 April, the Foreign Secretary spoke to his Israel counterpart Gideon Sa'ar, and he plans to speak to Palestinian PM Mustafa shortly.
