ISRAEL has agreed a ceasefire with Palestinian militant group Hamas after 11 days of bombing in Gaza which has killed more than 240 people including children.
The Israeli Government's security cabinet has approved an end to the campaign, which has seen rockets fired between Gaza and Israel, and the destruction of civilian buildings in Palestine including a press centre home to the Associated Press and Al-Jazeera.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has welcomed Israel’s announcement of a ceasefire, and has called for leaders in the region to “find a durable solution” that “prevents terrorism, ends the cycle of violence and delivers a sustainable and just peace”.
