Jonathan Reynolds says the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas that was agreed on Wednesday is "hugely important" and is an overdue "moment of hope that the world has been waiting for".
The business secretary adds that the UK's "steadfast" support for Ukraine will continue "for as long as it takes", until Russian forces withdraw.
His comments come as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer visits Kyiv to sign a new long-term partnership deal with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Hamas accuses Israel of being responsible for the deaths of the Bibas family, claiming they were killed in Israeli airstrikes weeks into the war. The militant group staged a public display before handing over the bodies of four Israeli hostages, including Shiri Bibas and her two young children. Hamas alleges that the Bibas children were held in an IDF Gaza Division office "out of compassion" before being killed. Israeli officials have strongly condemned these claims, calling them propaganda. This marks the first time Hamas has returned dead hostages since the ceasefire began.

A friend of Jaysley Beck has said sexual abuse in the Army is still going on years after the former Royal Artillery gunner's death. The body of the 19-year-old was found in a locker room at Wiltshire's Larkhill Camp in 2021. She had been subjected to relentless harassment from her line manager, Bombardier Ryan Mason, an inquest was told. Beck had also filed a complaint against Battery Sergeant Major Michael Webber who "pinned her down" and tried to kiss her at a work social. Former soldier Tamzin Hort compared being a woman in the Army to being "a piece of meat in a tank of sharks" and that "people get sexually assaulted left, right and centre, but nothing's done about it".
